Yay! I'm so glad she figured it out. And I'm glad Toby was so accommodating. For a second there I was worried that he wouldn't give it to her, but this fits S2 Toby better, I think.
Ack! I have to go! I'll review the rest later!
Author's Response: I don't like mean Toby. I like pathetic Toby who helps out Pam and is nice and sweet. So, thats the Toby I write.

Just read all of it and I can't wait for the next chapter. Great premise and Jim's response was so sweet!
Author's Response: Aww, so glad you are enjoying and liked Jim's response. I really spent a lot of time thinking of the postcards, so, glad it worked out

Ah, Toby. The worst HR rep ever. Heh. Nice of him to help her out, though. I can't wait until they reconnect!!
Author's Response:
I prefer to ignore S4 Toby. Because he wasn't nice. But, S3 and before Toby - that poor pathetic guy. He was great. Thats the Toby that is in this story.
And trust me, next chapter, they talk :)

One of the things that I love about this story is that you are able to convey character descriptions w/ such simple, specific and exact words. Which I love. Like this: Kevin giggled, Angela glared, Stanley sighed. This is exactly how these characters act.
I am looking forward to the conversation between Pam and Jim.
Author's Response:
Wow, and here I thought that was just laziness. ;). Really, I can't see it any other way, if it gets longer, it feels boring to me, so the short works.
And I was a bit evil by putting off the conversation until he end hehe!

That postcard put a big smile on my face.
I hope Toby will give Pam the number.
I'm assuming this is AU and you're not going to do something in the next chapter like "and so she never called, and angsty season 3 happened instead!" That would be fun for no one. ;)
She could start with, "So it's not too late for us?" :) Or whatever you decide. ;)
Author's Response:
Yep, Toby will give Pam the number. Mostly because I like poor pathetic toby and not mean pervy Toby.
And yes, this is AU. Because I like to live in Denial of S3. Karen? Stamford? Nah. It went from I'm in Love with You to We're Dating.

Author's Response: Thanks so much!

Only one more chapter? Ah nuts. I was hoping they'd flirt via postcards for a while yet. :-)
I'm glad you didn't make Toby be a complete ass and lie about it. We didn't need any additional angst here.
Author's Response:
Blame my beta. Because she liked the ending... but really, I think (hope) it will feel like a natural ending, and it will be happy.
I don't like mean Toby. I want to stick with the pathetic Toby I know and love, not Pervy mean Toby.
