I like that you categorize this as fluff. I put it in the "Agian Fucked Me Up Emotionally...Again" category. I'll come back for it every time because it's always SO good.

It’s great the phone call/voicemails the night before filter how Jim reads the text from Pam the morning after. It’s so true that he would have frantically pondered it without the context.
Pam thinking she was dreaming. Ugh. That hits right in the feels.
As far as I’m concerned Dwight and Pam’s friendship is one of the best parts of Season 3 so it’s lovely to see a nod to that.
I’ll admit it took me far too long to register that “don’t even think about it” is how Jim’s name is now set in her phone & oh my god it’s so good. It makes the fact she called him eight times all the more sweet.
The extra things that Pam has added to the teapot - be still my heart. It’s too much.
“Their laughter danced, twining together for the first time in way too goddamn long, before the song ended and they found themselves on opposite sides of the dance floor again” - this little passage is just perfection.
Their whole conversation was lovely. The reference to stealing Dwight’s car was a fun touch.
I love the song, it’s great to see it come to life like this. It’s a good fit for Season 3 JAM, that’s for sure.

Double review because I read to fast for my own good at times. First time around I missed that little line where you had Jim all but pull Pam out of her car. Forget what I said earlier. That's also a very nice image.

Great blend of humor, sweetness, and of course a long overdue conversation. I can imagine that it was Kelly who changed Jim's name in Pam's phone like that. Great little tidbit that added depth to this story. I'm really glad Pam had the courage to say all that to Jim here and that he has the insight to just listen and take it all in.
Also even through the seriousness of the conversation, there are these little bits of banter that take a lot of the edge off. Very skillful writing to pull that off. It didn't detract from what Pam was saying in the slightest.
I would have maybe liked a little more about the actual reunion in Middleton. However considering how the rest of their conversation went I'm sure it was a very sweet moment where Pam flings herself at Jim and he maybe gives her quick twirl before they simply hold each other for a few minutes before heading into the diner.
Great job as always AG, this was a treat.

I did love this. Great job with the length, but also with the emotions. I think you did a great job with Pam (and the relabeling Jim in her phone was wonderful) and her emotional upset, and I loved Jim doing the "I'm processing" but then managing to actually process. Great story.
