Very interested in this story. I am glad he isn't dating Karen.
Author's Response: Thanks, that really means a lot to hear. Glad you're liking it! HOpe you'll let me know how you like future chapters as well. Thanks! :)

I forgot to say how much like the real show this chapter was, when you brought Karen in to the situation I cringed, but in the BEST possible way. HEART THIS FIC MASSIVE
Author's Response: Thank you dearie! It means a lot to hear that, I have a small ... maybe big need to keep these characters in character at all times, so I'm glad you thought it was close to the show! Thanks! :)

Still interested--especially now ;) Nice little frustrating surprise you threw in there with Karen being on the couch and Pam scurrying off. That little bit of angst makes it that much better.
Instead, for the past week, she’d called him every evening and each time they ended their conversation, she couldn’t help but fall asleep with the thought of what it would be like to hear him say goodnight to her with his breath on her bare skin and his lips on hers. What a beautiful image.
Keep it up, girl!
Author's Response: Thanks Nancy! I really love when you pick out your favorite passages! It means a lot to me, more than I can really say. I'd been having a tough time steering this away from first date fic conversations and having them cliche date and what not. I'm thinking I have it back on track now. Hope you'll like how it wraps up, I'm hoping to finish it this week! :) Thank you!

*insert shout here*
So, is the next chapter gunna be when the magic happens? As in they get together, or have 'that' conversation or something? Anyway, really liked this one. Karen moment was classical Pam... complete lack of confidence.
Author's Response: In an effort to avoid having "that" conversation, I'm taking this somewhere different. Hopefully you'll like the way it turns out! Yes, Pam's lack of confidence in season 3 is tricky, if not done right she comes out as too completely not confident and that's too much. It took me a while to get this back on track, I hope you like the way it turns out! :) Thanks for sticking with me!

Nice to see an update for this :) Ahh I totally cringed when Karen was at Jim's place after all the nervous/excited anticipation Pam must have been feeling, but having Jim drive all that way later just to have an evening with her was so sweet. I loved the simplicity of it, particularly that very last moment of them sitting together, even though those last two lines kind of broke my heart. Can't wait to see how you finally get them together. Thanks for this :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked the chapter. I felt like her extending the olive branch and seeing Karen, may have put things into perspective for her, made her see what she really wants even if he's not with Karen. Glad you liked it, and I'm hoping you like the rest of it. I'm sorry it's been so long, I'll try to finish this up this week. Thanks so much for sticking with me! :)

I like it. Definitely still interested in reading it. It's nice to have some new stuff during this snooze-fest of an Office season! ;)
Author's Response: Aw, I kind of like this season, so much in fact that I'm also doing post episode one shots. Glad you're enjoying this story still! Thanks for letting me know! :) Happy Holidays! xx

Still interested and still loving every damn minute of this story.
I grinned so hard when Pam decided to go surprise Jim,and I couldn't believe it when Karen was sitting on the sofa, but phew, she's just a friend. You had me there for a second. Jim coming to Scranton was such a nice idea, and them going through her art books was such a lovely touch. She needs someone like Jim in her life to help her see just how awesome she is.
Ohh when Pam asked Jim to stay, I was SO proud of her. That was such a brave move for her :)
Author's Response: Aw yay thanks! I'm glad you're still liking this! You know what a struggle it's been! I definitely needed Pam do go see him, even if it was to get scared about seeing Karen and leaving, and because he saw that she did that and left, he knows he has to wait it out a little bit more. It's in the undertone that I'm hoping to create, but if not, then that's what I'm trying to do lol I'm also trying to make her find other ways to be brave and trying to make her more sure of her art, because on the show, the things that she made for her art show, and the way she stood in front of her paintings, she didn't seem confident at all. I feel like Jim gave her that confidence - which is why she went to Pratt. So, yeah, that's what I'm trying to do. And I have to keep reminding myself of that lol I'm so happy that you're enjoying, thanks so much for EVERYTHING! xx Happy Holidays! xx

Ooh I swear if you're having him lie to her about Karen...grr! Poor Pam drove all that way to find a girl in his apartment. I can see why she'd react the way she did though. Thanks for an update. They seem to be getting pretty close now. The merger will be quite conveniently timed if you decide to go that way, or maybe as Jan's original plan had been we can think of a reason to put Pam in Stamford if you wanted to go AU.
Author's Response: :) I hadn't thought about going AU with it, but that could really work too without changing my ending point. I'll give that some thought, thanks! Thanks so much for that, I really appreciate the insight! My reasoning for having her drive all the way there only to find Karen there was to have him see how Pam's making an effort, and that she's upset that he'd have another woman in his apartment, mainly so Pam isn't just laying it all out there on the line so soon... basically because I think she needs just a little more confidence and she needs to know that he's in the same state. I'm hoping to continue this one soon, once the holidays pass. Thanks so much! :) Happy Holidays! xx
