Ooooof. This one stung. A lot.
I thought you hit the nail on the head again with a lot of Jim's thinking here - it really is Pam's turn, and she's turning away from a perfect opportunity to take it. Puts his anger during the Heartbreak in the Breakroom in a more forgiving context.

I mean, it's a good level of angst for s3 and just like the show it's all self-inflicted. Good job drawing it out of them!

Lots of emotions all over the place here. I feel like they're both giving each other hugely mixed signals through everything. Hugging, kissing, are we friends, do we want more, what are they trying to tell me. They're both all over the place.
Now in the general timeline of JAM this fits. In canon this is one of the lowest spots of their relationship. So in that sense you've got their emotions spot on.
I have no idea what's gong to happen from here on out. You're doing a great job at keeping people guessing that's for sure.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and staying with this. I am glad the emotions are coming off right! :)

“she looked at him with such an ache written all over her that Jim forgot about everything else” Oh, my heart. I love this scene so very much. Of course Jim is drawn to her side in the face of aggressive Roy.
“He opened the door to find Pam standing there” Yes!
Ugh. So much good, and so much left unsaid. There are hints of Fancy New Beesly and courage, but the honesty is not quite there yet.
I don’t think Pam realizes how cruel she’s being pushing Jim to reaffirm their friendship, after she’s essentially pushed him away once again... The angst factor is certainly strong here, but it doesn’t seem completely unbelievable. I hope Pam finds a little more honesty with her courage soon!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for this review! I am glad it does feel believable and isn't way over the top. Glad you are liking this! :)
