Loved the first-person, loved it, because Pam seems like the kind of person who would write her deepest emotions and thoughts in a journal that she put deep inside her dresser where no one can ever find it - it fits, because it's Pam: she doesn't do that sort of thing, to talk about things like that. I'd like to think that the last time she wrote was some time before she met Jim, before she had someone to talk to - she may not have talked about these 'deepest thoughts and feelings' but she had someone to talk to, and Jim was perfect for that.
And then maybe it was in May that she decided she needed to keep things to herself because the last time she did something on instinct she broke two hearts and her own.
I'm creating too much of a background to fictional characters. :$ and this isn't even canon!!
Also, I adored the paragraph on the things Jim doesn't know, but she wants him to know...lovely.
It flows and meshes together so well I practically turn into mush every single time I read a chapter by you. Gorgeous, as always!

You make me laugh - I was sure no one thought about Jim and Pam's actions (outside of what we see every week), as much as me. But I think you're giving me a run for my money. Of course, I suppose all the people posting work on this site spend a little more time than most, pondering that topic. ;)
Whatever the case, in my mind, the last time she wrote was probably the day she called off the wedding... and before that, Casino Night. But who knows what Pam does when we're not around. :)

I like this chapter. This part is my favorite: "Roy does know me. Not the way Jim does. The way that weakens my knees (God, I'm being cheesy), that encourages me and makes me laugh, convicts me and drives me to be more than I am. The way that doesn't require words. Or... didn't."
I hope they get back to this kind of communication!
