I think it was a really strong choice to make Pam so emotionally inarticulate here. This is a very good inner monologue for someone who really doesn't know (and maybe isn't ready to know) her own mind.
Author's Response: I really agree with how you put that, that she isn’t ready to know her own mind. I think that’s exactly right. She is just so deep in denial, protecting herself from trying anything that might make her life better because making a change might be uncomfortable, or take effort. I think most of us (myself included) feel it’s easier to stay in an unhappy place that’s familiar than to take a chance on something that might be better, maybe even that will probably be better, because it just seems easier to stay where we are. The unhappy place can be anywhere, from staying in bed instead of going to get exercise (even knowing you’ll feel much better after doing so), to staying with your stupid, boring, not right for you fiancé when Jim Halpert is literally right there :-D

I'm a fan of any fic with surprise kisses laid on Jim by Pam, but this does a great job, I think, of treating how they would act at that particular moment in the universe. So yay.
Author's Response: Thank you for such a thoughtful review!

I really love this. I could see this play out so vividly in my head. This really leaves me wanting more angst!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, I’m glad you liked it!

I am so thrilled you're back with new stories! I love your alternative takes on these early moments and this is no exception. "I guess," he says slowly, his voice is ragged, quiet. "Now you know." - love this part, it feels very much like what Jim would have said in this situation.
Author's Response: Thank you! The "I just wanted to know,"/"I guess now you know" is what inspired the whole story!

Definitely continue this yes!! One can only wish that this was cannon hehe
Your imagery is amazing; I could picture everything perfectly in my head. The characterisation of Pam especially was really really good. The line "and now you know" actually killed me... :)
Author's Response: Ok, first of all, I LOVE your user name! Second, thank you so much for the review. I like to write things so that I can picture them and try to use imagery so that I can decide if any of what I'm writing actually feels like it would ever happen, so that comment in particular really means a lot <3

Love this new take on the elevator scene! More chapters, please!
Author's Response: Thank you! Let me know what you think of chapter two :-)

Jim straightens, backs away the slightest bit, and rests his forehead against the wall behind her, his chest heaving as he tries to catch his breath. His body is still trapping hers aainst the wall, and she's not sure what to do. She's never seen him like this. Her hands drop to his chest again and she can feel his heart racing.
Wow! Yes, more please. It's kind of warm in this elevator.
Author's Response: "It's kind of warm in this elevator" made me laugh out loud! Thanks for the review and enjoy chapter 2!
