Title: Chapter 1: Yuanfen - 2002
Hi ladama. I'm so glad to see new work at this site. I'm really enjoying this story so far, but I am nervous about season nine. Boy, that was frightening to watch, wasn't it? Please continue with these glimpses at Valentine Day.
Author's Response: Hi Chirstina, thanks so much for reviewing and so glad to see new faces on this site!
Glad your enjoying it, it's funny you mention season 9, that chapter is actually mostly written just because I wanted to get the sadness out of the way. It was a bit nerve racking to watch but when I rewatch it now (with the knowledge that it's going to work I do think the writers made a good call putting the Halperts through some marital trouble at the end there, it brought back some emotional weight (which was much needed, I may love the Office but I have to concede it got kind of silly and sitcom-like in the later years there). Jim and Pam never truly excelled at verbal communication, and I was actually kind of glad to see the writers finally address that. Anyway, the S9 is going to be a bit sad but I promise the last three will make up for it :-)
