So this is just delightful. I know I've said that word a lot in these reviews, but as you once told me, it's not a vocabulary test. Jim taking not just a passing interest but full fledged interest in the world of art with Pam really makes this one. How he's encouraging her and they're just so easy with each other here is wonderful to envision. Great fun to be sure.
Author's Response: Thank you very much (something I also say a lot...). I hoped this dynamic would work for them, so I'm glad to hear it is!

Ahh, this was so adorable. I really enjoyed the deep dive into Jim’s love for Cugino’s, and their entire conversation about the painting (and Jim enjoying how into it she gets) is just lovely. And the Marxist joke and the end and Jim giggling like a schoolgirl! I love the way you write their chemistry with each other. Also, this line:
‘God, he was a total goner for this woman. But then again, he’d been one since she’d first walked into the shop and opened her mouth.’
This is basically everything you’d want from an actual (angst-free) Jam first date 😍 I continue to be very sad that I've used up all my jellybeans.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! No angst for this story: just fluff and silliness (and bad nerdy jokes).

The painting-inspired banter was perfect. Jim knowing what painting she was referring to and being interested in hearing the artist's perspective fits both canon!Jim and Marxist!Jim well, and the flirting around Pam's composition of their scene was adorable. And the use of an actual Everhart Museum painting is the verisimilitude I live for.
Author's Response: Thank you! I had a lot of fun with actually looking up the website to make sure I got a photo to include so I'm glad that worked for you!
