Oh, I love-love-LOVE this. I think this is the best Pam-explanation of why she didn't call EVER. And I love his response! So nice!

I'm really loving these, and I think this is my favorite so far. As somebody else already said, that moment when Jim said "Yes" was one of my most favorite moments in the whole series, not just the season. So much said with one word.
I'm looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you! I've got the next one outlined, based on "Phyllis' Wedding". Should be up soon. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. I think that scene is the most vulnerable and real that we see him in all of S3.

Wow. What a great concept for a story... and who would've thought the word "Ryan" could have changed the course of Season 3. This is such a simple line “Why didn't you tell me?” he whispered finally. It conveys so much of Jim's sadness during this time. Nice Job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I can just see them with the long pause and then the question that just goes right to the heart of everything... no preamble, no explanation. He asks that and she knows exactly what he means. These characters are soooo much fun to write. I'm glad you enjoyed my little take on it. :)

Aw, these are very nice chapters. You make it sound so simple and just about natural that they blew past the angsty parts. I hope you keep writing, I'll be watching out for this story!!
Author's Response: Thanks! My take is always that open communication makes things much easier, and it's clear that that is a huge problem for PB&J. I like imagining what would happen if they just said what they were thinking. Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Such a cute idea, loved it!
Author's Response: Thank you very much!

Totally gave me chills. Maybe you should write for the show, b/c I love this ending better than "Bye Pam." It was so them and perfect. Added to my favorites!
Author's Response: Well, if you hear of any openings, I can send you my resume. :) Seriuosly, though, thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope to do at least a few more chapters.

What a wonderful story! really nice! You capture very well the characters. I hope you write some more! =)!
Author's Response: Thank you! The characters are fun to write, and it's challenging to make sure I keep things realistic to what they might actually do, say, or think. I'm glad it felt accurate. :)

Outstanding! This conversation has always made me nuts. I love, love, love what you did with it!
Author's Response: It drove me nuts too. Now when I re-watch it, hopefully this will fend off the annoyance. Geez S3 Pam/Jim.. just TALK to each other for once!

Awww! How I wish this had happened. Very cute, very real. :D
Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words. I wish it had happened this way too, if only cause then I'd get royalties. ;)

I love 'what-if' stories! I really like how you wrote this and I can't wait to see more.
Author's Response: Thanks! These are a lot of fun to write, and they help cleanse my soul of all this S3 angst.

That made me very, very happy. More???
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm thinking the next one will re-imagine their conversation at the end of "The Merger" out in the parking lot. I was thinking of doing something with the text message in "Diwali" but I'm not sure I do much with that or that it would be different enough from this one.

This is really good. I love the idea that their families gave her grief (very realistic), and that she was still feeling guilty at this time. And the final line? Awww. Can't wait to see what else you come up with!
Author's Response: I can't even imagine the hell she must have gone through ending a 10 year relationship 3 days before the wedding. :( I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Wow, so much can change on just one extra word from Pam. Looking forward to reading about other potential "What Ifs"
Author's Response: Thank you! When I was thinking of this scene and re-watching, it just occured to me that if she'd just said Ryan's name then their conversation would have just kept going on. I really love/hate the way they jerked our chains in S3!

I really liked this...I'm looking forward to reading more!
Author's Response: Thanks! I should have a new chapter up sometime soon.

Nice start, Desslok. Love this: “Well, then you have a date, Beesley. And, while I think I can promise it will not be boring, I'm not sure I can say the same about blouse-related glances.” Awww : )
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
