*hugs your knees* Oh, the angst! The potential happiness! You seriously made my heart feel like breaking for Jim all alone and not-drunk in Australia. <3

I know, poor Jim! Sorry about your heart. But, at least things are looking up for him, right? Thanks for commenting. :)

Awe! I loved that Pam noticed that Jim lost weight.
I already love this. <3

Thanks. :) John Krasinski *did* noticeably lose weight between S2 and S3, so I figured I'd work that into the story and have Pam notice. Glad you liked it!

Yay! I was so happy to see this updated. Angsty Jim makes my world go 'round, and you nailed it. And the scene with Jim and Pam is 100% perfect. I like that they don't just jump into a relationship, that she's conscious that she can't be what he needs yet. And what a great way to end it! I can't wait for more. :)

Thanks so much, thirteenmirrors! Yeah, as happy as the thought of her dumping Roy and running straight into Jim's arms is, there's no way it would be that easy -- and if it were, it would only lead to trouble since I think Pam had a lot of growing up to do. Really glad you liked it! Hope you like the rest. Chapter 3 is in the works.

Thanks! They are in a kind of tragic situation, aren't they? I'm glad you liked it.
