Some very sweet moments in this one. DC is highly underrated as a romantic destination in my humble opinion.

This story continues to be just a ton of fun. The grown up prankster that is Jim seems on display there on the bus. He still wants to bend the rules and get what he wants, but he's subtle enough to fly under the radar about it and it works out better.
Loved his bedtime story. As an English teacher he's be well versed with the quote, "brevity is the soul of wit." Puts it to good use too.
Nice that he and Pam can have their nightime stroll. Even better they can admit their real feelings to each other. Beautiful imagry.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! Some of my favorite parts of writing this story has been his interactions with his students. :)

We has the tape too! I’d never heads anyone else using it so I loved that it was here!
Author's Response: Haha really? I’ve never heard of anyone else doing it either!

Enjoying my trip back to high school/ visit to The Office in this fic. Never did go to DC in High School but have been a few times since and it makes a perfect trip for your story. (Will they swing by Georgetown?)
The subtle nods to character's personalities, Angela - spot on, good use of Toby's crush and lines from show - REM sleep mention, “How dare you?, Absolutely I Do - so fun to read. I caught the mention of Pam's insecurities about kids liking her too.
The way the kids get on with Mr. H is very believable and in character.
Okay - I want to know what book she was reading and I'm looking forward to the prank.
The icing was the I love You - fluffy Jam first moments always work for me. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Okay, so the book in my head was Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (which might be my favorite book of all time) but I wanted to keep it a little more vague in the story so people could mentally insert their own book. Haha but I would recommend that book if you haven’t read it! I also love making Jim the cool, likable teacher because I think that’s exactly how he would be if he were to teach. (And I would have 100% had a crush on him in high school, let’s be honest.) Thank you so much for your kind words and review! :)

Okay I loved this chapter TOO MUCH!!
Their moment on the bus (dammit, that would have been fun, but understandably wrong), in the Library of Congress, and THEIR MOMENTS NEAR THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT OMG MY HEART!!
I loved this chapter, SO good WW.
Author's Response: Fun story: when my husband and I visited D.C. I distinctly remember sitting on a bench at night by the Washington Monument. Now, it wasn’t nearly as romantic as this, but it was a mental picture I had and wanted to use!
Thank you so much for all your kind reviews and encouragement! It means so much!!

Ahhhhh! Okay, the whole “banging the principal” bit was hilarious. I legit laughed out loud. I loved the bus ride and the stolen kisses and everything, and their nighttime walk was adorable. And then to end it all with “not a bad day” was sheer perfection. Loved it.
Author's Response: Thank you, as always! :) I had Michael and Jan storyline in my head since the very beginning and this was the perfect time to reveal it. Ha
