You know, I kinda like this version of Roy. Yes, it's an easy out... but this guy goes a long way towards explaining how this relationship lasted so long in the first place. Not a bad guy, and probably not a terrible partner for a good chunk of it, but a guy whose interest in Pam has faded just like hers has in him, and who is content with the way things are and more going along with things as they are just like Pam is.

I became quite the Roy apologist over the years. He was not an ogre. Just profoundly wrong for Pam, a situation which brought out his worst.
So I made it super easy on all of them!

Really awesome Pam/Roy interaction. I love it when Roy is given some depth.
Author's Response: Thank you! Their relationship can't be all bad, right?

Oh man. You're right; clearly it isn't going to be this simple - but that doesn't make this any less enjoyable to read! :D
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm enjoying writing it. One more chapter to really tie everything up, I think.

Fanfic isn't the place for reality anyway - it's the place where we get to put neat little bows on everything if we want to. Very sweet.
Author's Response: Thank you!

Wow. I wish I believed that Roy could be so astute. If he were aware enough, those are EXACTLY the things he would notice between Jim and Pam. Nice job.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm giving Roy all sorts of credit lately. Hee.

Wow. You have this all wrapped up in a pretty bow.
Realistic? Prob not.
So doesn't matter.
I'll take this over reality anyday. ;)
Author's Response: Heh. Exactly! I'm outrunning the angst as fast as I can type!

I loved seeing Roy's enlightened POV in this chapter. If only it could go so smoothly.
Author's Response: Thanks. It won't(which will make for much better TV), but I'm trying to get to "happily ever after" befor being hit with that. :)

You brought up *so* many good points in this chapter, I don't even know where to begin!
-"Kev aked me if it was OK with you...I didn't care if you were OK with it or not."
-"He's had a thing for you for a long time. I should have done something about that years ago. Knocked his head in or something. That's what I mean, Pam. I didn't do anything...I guess I didn't care enough." (I've wondered that myself, and the reason I came up with is that Roy is way too confident in Pam's love for him that he doesn't even think he has to fight for her)
-"I looked in my mirror and I saw you. You kinda moved toward each other and filled in the space where the truck had been."
Great job, really.
Author's Response: Thanks! Roy's definitely not the right guy for Pam, but he's not so bad.
