Another awesome chapter, and another beautiful line - "Not for the reason he’d given her, but because taking it from her meant taking back everything about her that he’d already tried to let go."

One thing I love about this show is the paralleling of scenes, dialogue and situations. Therefore, I *love* that you've taken to paralleling these in your fic. So great....

Wow, everything was dead on. How do yo do that? The last two lines really rung true to me. It's getting harder and harder to tell which way the two of them are going. Is a ressurected friendship the ending of things or the bgining, or merely stalling? Gah!
You have such a poetic way of writing though, can't wait for more!

Nice! I like the way you've paralleled (is that a word?) these two.

The parallels in these scenes are freaking brilliant, 69cups! And I love how this one ends an a slighty hopeful note. Let's hope Karen is over by the end of sweeps!!!

I really like how you've found similar events across seasons - it gives canon even more of an arc - and more depth (for a TV comedy that already has more depth than any other comedy on now).
Brava, 69 cups of noodles!

Exactly, rejecting Pam's gift wasn't about his promotion at all. And I like the way you've suggested the ambiguity in whether accepting it is a step forward or back...he really is in limbo now. This gets that ambivalence across so succinctly.
Author's Response: Yes, and it's so obvious that it wasn't about his promotion. I think we all saw right through that. When are these two going to stop dancing around each other?

it hits him like it used to
Yes! It was exactly the same expression. It gave me a lot of hope for these two silly kids. I love all of this- the short, parallel snippets appeal to me very much. These two are so connected, of course their story works like this.
Author's Response: Thank you. I hate the fact that Jim can see them hug. But it made me hopeful too, because as long as it still makes him sad, then that means he still cares about Pam. Weird logic, but whatevs. Thanks for reviewing!
