This:
"Instead they found themselves eating street food again under the stars by the Anzac Memorial, trading quips and thoughts about the day and just generally enjoying each others’ company. This was what she’d wanted, she thought, from a real adult relationship. Not just the sex (though she was not adverse to heading back to the hostel soon); not just the kisses (though the boat had been a very good idea); not just someone who loved and supported her (though Jim did and it was like breathing after too long underwater), but a relationship where she could be entirely herself and be sure that the other person was being himself too."
If you find yourself with someone like this, stop what you are doing and marry that someone!
Such a sweet summary of who what these two are to each other, in my mind. Nice job capturing it in words.
Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Thank you! That is how I feel too--so I'm glad it worked for you.

Roy wearing a hoodie becoming a kangaroo got a chuckle, that was just entirely unexpected, good job.
Looking forward to your take on the greatest hits of AUS3, that sounds interesting. It'll be nice to be back in the office with these two.
Author's Response: Thank you!

I’m with Jim, I want a pet wombat! They’re quicker than they look though, and stronger so there’s no catching one...
I’d love to see those caricatures! That’s a very fun idea.
Plenty of sweet moments throughout this chapter too, as always.
Author's Response: If I could draw, I'd make them. But I can't. Thank you!

Oh, I'm happy so much to see them so carefree! And Pam's creativity - she held it back for too long. Unleash all you have, Pam.
Also, Jim's fondness of wombats is cute :)
Also, I'm wondering (and I guess it'll keep me busy the rest of the day) about the rest of the coworkers (as well as Pam and Jim themselves). Perhaps, Kevin could be drawn as a quokka, Oscar as a kestrel, Meredith as a frogmouth... and Jim and Pam would be a couple of penguins. Some time ago, I saw a photo of two penguins watching the Melbourne skyline together, and they were so unbelievably sweet that I instantly remembered them reading this chapter.
Though, it would also be nice to see Jim the Sea Lion in Pam's style :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I agree with your suggestions; Creed, I think, would be simply Creed. Because I think there is no animal that could be him.

Jim's thoughts about all the different animals was great. However, yeah listen to Pam there. Don't go taking the animals back home.
Pam was wonderful here. Thanks for the explination of how she has so many notebooks. I was about to comment on that until you cleared it up.
I love that they are just themselves. They can relax, have fun, and enjoy each other's company. It's a joy to read. Same thing with all the DM co-workers as animals. Jim and Pam are often at their best when having fun and this is no different.
Okay so with all that's left in this story, and based on how things have been so far, that's what, another 20 chapters or so? Not complaining mind, you.
Author's Response: Thank you! I think it's probably more like 10, but I'm not putting a number on it because it depends on my enthusiasm for the story.
