I don't know who Gary Cooper is. I wiki'd him. Okay. Big time old movie star. Got it now.
Wow. Those small touches. It just makes me happy. Just thinking of them happy, and those small innocent touches that they can now enjoy.


Author's Response: GC was the opposite of Michael - strong, silent, debonair, brave, handsome....men respected him and women loved him. He was the hero in a couple of classic westerns, btw. Or, you know, you could just Wiki him, lol.Glad this made you happy, Emily!

Your writing is so beautiful, but I feel like you don't even need to be told that...'cause duh! (wow I am articulate)
So I'm going to focus on this:
...Wow. That’s either really romantic or really morbid...
I love the cuteness inside the beautiful!

Author's Response: To be honest, every writer needs to be told that - so I thank you! Glad that line worked for you too Whichoneispam08 ;-)

How did I miss this story???

It was complicated. All this not touching. It could be so distracting that he’d miss the entire gist of whatever was being said. He didn’t care.

Oh, that makes my heart beat faster. There is nothing more appealing to me than pre-Casino Night Jim... because it's so desperate and haunting and full of want. But also now that they're together and her hand on his thigh under the table...  Ugh. I love it. Off to read more! 



Author's Response: Wow, thanks heartcarved! Tell you a secret - the first two sentences you quoted are my faves in this chapter. And I know exactly what you mean about pre-CN Jim...so soulful. What's not to love about him, lol?

That was a lovely ending. I just discovered this story today, but I read all the chapters and fell in love with it. I thought the final chapter was a beautiful way to end it.

Author's Response: Well, I'm glad you found this and especially glad you liked the final scene. Thanks, nandance!

Fantastic job.  Sad to see it end but anxiously awaiting your next work of art : )

Author's Response: Thank you so much. Much appreciated, NanReg!

Okay, my smile is reminiscent of Michael's in BfV as he's saying, "Sex...I had sex...with Jan." 

And no, not because I, too, have had sex with Jan, but because this was so delicious and steamy and perfect.  Love the Gary Cooper tie-in.

This is about as coherent as I can be, knowing that there are more chapters for me to inhale....



Author's Response: I think having one of my stories compared to having sex with Jan may be the best compliment I ever got (in Office terms, lol.) Thanks for that honor, girl7!

Mmm, that comfortable sense of touch between people in love. Yay! Beautiful vignette to start with.

Author's Response: Thanks, Nqullisi - yeah, amazing how briefly touching (or not touching) can be so charged.

Michael might actually be Gary Cooper.

I laughed aloud at Michael's description of himself as Gary Cooper. No one could be LESS like the silent, stoic Cooper than Michael Gary Scott. Brilliant!

I love the way you've caught Jim's ambiguity over touching Pam in Seasons 1-3, and the delight that he can do that now. I can't wait to see them together on screen now! Thanks for another wonderful little moment, Colette. Like small, polished gemstones. 



Author's Response: Exactly...I thought for Jim, early in the relationship, just believing he could casually touch her would feel like he was disconnected from reality, like anything was possible (even Michael being Gary Cooper.) Thanks for reviewing, NEJ!

Yay! Hurray for futuristic fanfic! My favorite kind -- where Jim and Pam being together is basically the law according to the rules. Let's just hope Daniels and Co. are aware of these laws.

Author's Response: Seriously - about time GD & Co. got with the program! After all, is it so wrong that I just want their legs to touch, LOL? Thanks, LoveFool...fingers crossed!

please write more... it's good medicine, your little oneshots. i love how you capture these plain, ordinary moments and turn them into gold.


Author's Response: Glad to hear these worked for you...and that ordinary isn't too boring! Thanks much, StarShine!

Each of them made me smile in their own special way. Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: So happy to make you smile...Thanks, faceglow!
