Funny how the real proposal ended up lacking fireworks as well. Nice show that Jim can both be very controlled and also very spontaneous when it comes to Pam.

First of all: Love the way you reflect Jim's thoughts here; it's hard to articulate, but it's as if you've really captured the direction his mind would've gone that night (somethign like stream of consciousness, only much less jarring and confusing, lol).
The Booze Cruise analogy was really apt (and heartbreaking, guh).
And this paragraph really struck me as very real; we've all been there in some way or another: "
So he was driving home now, his nervousness transferred to self pity as he turned down the street heading towards his apartment. They were doing this thing where one of them would glance over and look away at the moment the other looks at them. This is what devastation feels like? Oh I remember this feeling before, Jim thought. How many times has that fucking parking lot doomed my ass?"
And that last line...guh. Amen, Pam. :o)
Thanks for a lovely read!

Wow. What an extremely romantic and thoroughly passionate proposal. So much better than what they could have written for us. Awesome job. Oh to be loved like that!

Eeee! The whole time he was saying all that wonderful stuff, I was thinking "way better than fireworks!" and then Pam took the words right out of my mouth. I think this is what it's going to have to be like when they finally do get engaged on the show, not about the perfect moment, not about putting on a show, but about sharing real feeling. This was heartwarming :)

*sniffle*
Thank you so much. I'm just going to pretend that this is exactly what happened.

Everytime I think about the finale I get this awful, dull, sick feeling in my stomach...but this makes it feel a little bit better. :o)
...It feels good to know that all the other Jam fans were just as upset as I was.

THANK YOU. I was in kinda a mist of depression since the episode so I've been reading a few fics to cheer myself up, and this is the best so far. I love it.

This almost cheered me up. *Almost.* ;) Great job. Definitely the best post-finale fic I've read.

Jim doesn't know how many fireworks he's actually capable of....
One good thing about that damn finale, we still need fanfic, more than ever.

Thank you for giving us what NBC wouldn't. This is perfectly written, a very beautiful job!

Thank you so much, Binx. This went a long way toward soothing my aching soul. I'd like to think that this is what happened.

I so so so hope this happened off camera. Jim could not have let her be disappointed like that.
Excellent story. You wrote what we all wish happened. Thank you.

Okay, I think if I keep this in my head, I can last the summer. So much better than the real ending.
Deep breath, remember this ending instead of the canon one, okay, I'm okay.

I agree with Pam but I doubt they'd ever let us see anything like what you wrote. ;)

Niiiice, I'm am starting to heal...need september now.

Tylenol solves aching Grief bones, as well as alcohol, and a lot of it.
You took an episode that wasn't my favourite and put tears in my eyes. This is a really exquisite piece, and it looks like one of the best to come out of the finale.
Great job, and thank you very much for writing this out!!!

let's hope to some higher power that that is indeed how the proposal occurred. or that is occurred at all.

yay! stupid stupid andy.... I sincerely hope that we get a flashback sequence in september of something like this!
