Came back to catch up on this one and I'm rewarded with 3 new chapters!
The dialogue between Jim and Pam flows nicely and is in character.
I'm surprised how much more I like a quiet, understanding break up between Roy and Pam than the tumultuous, jerk face break up... puts them on the same page being honest with themselves and each other that it's not really working and they both want something different.
And now that Roy is out of the picture, what's next?!
Thanks for writing!

Author's Response:

I hope to make that 4 if I have anything to say. An hour until bedtime and I'm almost done the next one!

Thanks, I always doubt the dialogue when I'm reading it back, so it's nice to have this affirmed.

I'm glad you liked the breakup, I was worried it wouldn't live up to the expectations I set in the first chapter.

We'll have to wait and see what the picture shapes up to be, stay tuned!

You're welcome, and thank you for reviewing!

Fairly smooth re-break up. Kinda in keeping that Roy wouldn't get it at first. However this time he does seem to come to an acceptance about it quicker. Interesting choice there. Good for Pam to stick to her guns though. Writing the actual break-up can be difficult so good on you for writing it out.

Jim's still doing great by being the friend right now. Looking forward to seeing how the rest will all pan out.

Author's Response:

In my head, it seems to me that the breakup was a long time in coming, they just needed an event to break them out of the holding pattern they were in. I'm not sure if I should have had Roy fight for it more, but I feel by this point that they've probably had fights over the wedding date before and he's finally ready to let go when Pam drops this on him. And plus, this means he can "get on" Katy (Ok, no, that was not actually in my thought process for him, but boy would that have made him look like an even larger oaf).

Writing the breakup was indeed difficult, so thank you for reviewing it!

Jim is indeed still in the friend-zone, we'll see if he can do anything about that.

Oh, I love this version of Pam and Roy breaking up. It felt so realistic. I really, really liked that you had Roy just kind of getting it, and being on the same page as Pam. To have him understand that the spark isn’t really there anymore, and accept that instead of arcing up and becoming aggressive was a nice change in the fic world. I enjoyed this chapter, it captured the break up playing out very well.

Author's Response:

Thank you! I was trying to get in their heads, and when you think about it once Roy gets on the same page as he can't really blame her for being upset that she's three years into an engagement to be married, with no end in sight. I'm more of a fan of a sympathetic Roy in situations like this because I feel it gives some depth to the character, as opposed to the angry brute that we so often see him portrayed as.

In all honesty though I was really worried about the reception of this chapter, so again, thank you for reviewing!

I really loved how you handled the break up! I like how you portrayed Roy, having the same fears as Pam about breaking up.
Can’t wait to read what happens next!

Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad you like the portrayal! Now that the hardest part is over, I am excited to see where it goes next as well.

I don't know what I expected from Pam and Roy's confrontation, but... God, that was so, so good! Seriously, I like that they told to each other like adults and sorted things out as much as they could. And the fact that Roy lost the ring - just a little perfection!
Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you! The confrontation was really hard to write for me, I was concerned it wouldn't come across well. I tried to portray it as best I could and I'm glad you enjoyed it! And the ring... that was a fun moment of me going back and re-reading and realising I never had Roy pick it up, imagine that!

Aww. The "no you hang up" is adorable. I'm glad things with Roy were relatively...OK. For a breakup like that.

Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter! I'm just happy to be done the hardest part, I was really sweating writing the breakup.
