I love this! I miss the angst, honestly. I really loved this: It’s one of the most fulfilling conversations she can ever remember having in the office.
Well, one that wasn’t involving Jim, of course.
so spot on :)
Author's Response: Awww, thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you're enjoying! Yeah, I'm saddened to realize we will never have the same amount of grief and heartache like s3. That's why we have fanfic, I guess!

Nice job bringing up the FTC, haha. And the teapot (not for you, Karen, honey).
Author's Response: Haha indeed! I love the FTC so much. And the teapot, it's one of the best things on the show, I'm glad they kindahave it in the background of some scenes. Thanks again for reviewing!

Wow, I really loved this chapter. And the teapot part, heartbreaking. Karen, get your hands off of Pam's little piece of Jim. (not in a TWSS way...)
Author's Response: I knew I wanted to include the teapot when I thought about Branch Wars, and how Pam was still using the teapot during Finer Things Club. It's one of the most significant items on the show, and I love little reminders like that.

This definitely fits, and I love the chance to see things from both angles. I particularly liked the talking heads sections. Can't wait for more :)

I'm really fond of this, too, Mel. The teapot was a nice little touch, as was the seed of The Finer Things Club.
Author's Response: I love both the teapot and the Finer Things Club so much. And I love implementing "reminders" in my fics, just 'cause they're fun and I enjoy seeing them in other writings, too. :) Thank you for reviewing!!

Ooh...what does he decide??
I was thinking while reading this chapter that Jim was always that character who had trouble saying what he felt until he really needed to say it, then he would be very simple and direct about it: Let's break up (to Katy), I'm in love with you, Yes (to Karen's question about if he still has feelings for Pam), Will you marry me?
Nothing extra or no flowery lead ups.
You're doing so well at showing that Jim-queasiness that comes before anything that really needs to be said is said. I'm looking forward to what happens next.
Author's Response: He decides on two things: 1) Grape soda 2) .... you'll see. ;) And you're absolutely right about Jim. He's not close to confessing to anything (yet...) but it'll probably be alot like that when/if I get to that part of the fic. I'm glad I'm portraying him well, since he's so fun to write for.

Is it silly that I may have let out a little whoop when he picked grape? Nice touch. I also thought that Jim kissing Karen instead of answering was very in character. He could never quite make himself verbally lie, could he? Nice job.
Author's Response: Hahaa, not silly at all! That's what I was going for. It's kind of like a little victory, like when (in the show) Jim asks Pam to help him destroy Andy's sanity after Karen tells him no. And I'm pretty happy with having him kiss Karen instead of telling her a lie or the truth. Jim in season 3 was kind of taking the easy way out of alot of things, and he's not quite to the place where he's ready to just deal. We'll get there, though. ;) Thanks so much for your reviews!!

I'm so glad you've updated! I like the pace of this. I'm enjoying every chapter. Please update soon!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying, and I'm formulating how to write out the next chapter. Hopefully it'll be done by the end of the week. :)

Ohhh I have to agree with you, I LOVE how this chapter turned out. This is getting sogood and I cannot wait to see where you go with it.
Season 2/3 angst is sooo good!!!
Author's Response: This was a fun chapter to write, I loved going back and forth between the two. I'm pleased that you're enjoying this! And you're right, the angst is just wonderful to wallow in. Especially since we'll probably never have anymore, now that they've got their perfect life+baby. ;) Thanks for your reviews!!
