I laughed at the line, "Karen says something pointless". Interesting that Jim seems to have all his emotional moments in parking lots! Nice job!

"Still Jim underneath the new suits and the new life and the lies he tells himself every morning."
This sentence is just beautiful.

There was so much to love about this chapter, but I think this was my favorite line:
"The last coherent thought he can manage is that it always seems to be in parking lots that his heart falls to pieces."

“Oh, I’m pacing myself,” she says, with a smile.
He wants to say she’s been pacing herself for years and it’s about time she stopped it.
He wants to offer her his hand and a dance and maybe, just maybe, his heart (again).
He wants to do something, anything, to give her a sign that he’s still here. Still Jim underneath the new suits and the new life and the lies he tells himself every morning.
He wants to give her a chance.
And after this, I shut off the DVD, thank you very much. Wanted to wring their necks after this episode. Another Valentine's Day down the drain. Dammit. Jim better propose on the next Valentine's to make up for these last two we've had to endure.

Oh jeez. Oh my heart, it hurts. And my stomach, and my arms. Gah, Phyllis, your wedding sucks.
Ok, I think I've gotten that out of my system. For the moment. Anyway... I thought you did such a great job here. You really captured that killer aspect of the episode -- dashed hopes and misunderstandings on both sides. And you explained their thoughts so well. Oh, Jim's thoughts at the end. AAAH. I can't wait for you to get to the end of season 3.
She can’t look at him because when she sees herself reflected back in his eyes, she sees a coward.
Ouch. Such a good line.
Author's Response: Phyllis, no offence, but yeah, your wedding SUCKED. Sorry about the various body parts to which I've caused pain by making you relive the ep.rnrnThis episode was actually really difficult to tackle since there's not much contact but there's a lot of separate moments that say a lot. rnrnThanks so much for reading and reviewing :)

She wishes she could stop pacing herself, wishes she could take the handbrake off her heart and let the truth pour out.
...reminding him that he has a girlfriend and a new life and an almost, sort of, slightly, haphazardly, patched up broken heart that really shouldn’t be entering into any strenuous activity just yet.
Beautifully symmetrical lines. Great job with this!

You really seem to have their voices down. I am really enjoying this. Looking forward to the next installment.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm still feeling out this fandom so it's nice to hear people find this believable :)

Ow. Make me relive Phyllis' Wedding why don't you? I suppose we need to hit bottom before it hurts enough to climb out. Dammit, where are those writers with my happy (for Pam & Jim anyway) S4? Oh, right, out picketing to get a fair deal. Nicely done SS.
Author's Response: Sorry for making you relive the utter horror that was that episode! I can't promise the next chap will be any better since I'm planning on tackling Cocktails/The Neogtiation. However I can promise a happy ending :) Thanks for reading!
