Oh man, what a way to finally tell Scranton about the fiancé status, ouch.

My thoughts on the time between Hot Girl and The Dundies is that it was pretty much just more of the same, the only difference being Jim in a relationship that is basically a tiny step above casual. I was trying to think about things mentioned in the show that you could use, like learning to drive stick, but that would probably give too much away. And I couldn’t really come up with anything else.

I have complete faith in you and your excellent writing and story telling to decide what is right for this story. :D

And, yeah, I think I’ll keep my thoughts about how they find out quiet. Just in case I’m actually correct I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone.

Yeah, I don't think Pam is really thinking how that's going to feel for Scranton, more just embarrassed she got mad at Roy for something she's been doing herself and anxious to fix it as quickly as possible. But it would clearly hurt Jim. 

Thank you for your faith! I'm interested to know what you think of what I did with the hiatus--kinda setting up for my Dundies too, but stands alone.  I also couldn't think of particular canon points to use so I sidestepped. 

 And once the reveal happens you'll have to let me know if you guessed right. I think you usually do :).
