Again, loving the reimagining of the teapot Christmas, and I'm very interested to see where you go with this as we continue to get more and more into uncharted territory with their post-Casino Night interactions.
Author's Response: Thank you! It's always fun to get the teapot details in there ;)

Comfect, he basically created tea for her. This is too much in the best of ways.
And then she locked the door and now THIS is too much. Talk about emotional whiplash, but don't ever stop with these little details.
Ugh, I love how there's nothing left for Pam to do but laugh at the entire situation. I can't blame her; the poor girl has been through every emotion possible in the last 24 hours - she's bound to be a tiny bit hysterical.
This is so good. So. Good.
Author's Response:
Oh yes he did! Not just a pot this time...hope the emotional whiplash isn't too strong :)

This was my favorite chapter. I love that it is Pam the one who tries to go back to normal and, of course, how Jim is having any of it.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! I hope the next one lives up to that too then, since we'll get Jim's POV.

"It was like watching an engine light up, but in reverse." Great line there that I think really gets to how Jim's feeling. Even though this is a Pam chapter it's very clear that Jim's pain is still very raw. I'm sure he would very much like to get back to being friends, but he can't after her rejection.
Speaking of her, I liked all Pam's introspection here. How she's reviewing all the ways he's shown how he cares for her. She's trying to sort out her feelings and I think she's starting to get a sense of just what Jim truly means to her. She's trying to get back to the way things were before his declaration, trying to remember that she's engaged But I sense that it's getting harder since Jim is there, warm, and most importantly not frozen unlike a certain Roycicle down in the warehouse. Great stuff, especially with all the flashbacks to things like the teapot.
Then let's talk about her reaction here for sec shall we? I really like that she locks them in the Observation Dome. I'm not sure if she realizes it or not, but it seems like a very Fancy New Beesly thing to do. Her laughter even in the face of Jim's angst is a refreshing change of pace. Mainly because I sense she's not laughing out of a desire to hurt his feelings, but because if she doesn't she'll break down almost like how Jim is on the verge of doing.
But now they're alone, and clearly emotions are still running high. Will they talk? Fight? Join the Billion-Light-Year-High club? I don't know, but I can't wait to find out.
Author's Response: Thanks, as always, for your extremely in-depth reviews. They really help me understand what I'm doing with the story I've already written, which as you can imagine is very important as I go write more of it. I think (or at least hope) you'll enjoy getting a little more plot movement over these next few chapters.
