Hello, Goodbye Jim/Pam Ch1

[shootingstars88]

My first offering to the Office fandom. JAM, of course.

Author's Notes: Inspired, as I'm sure the title suggests, by the Beatles: Hello Goodbye. Chapter one deals with Casino Night, later chapters will deal with a few key season three moments until we finally reach the 'Hello, Hello' that is The Job. Unbetaed so my apologies for any errors.

lol I'm not even that sleepy. Sometimes I just pick that because I like to look at him...

I love the quirky style of it, it captures Jims emotions in snapshots that are just awesome I loved it!

thank you for reading.

It always strikes me as one of the most heartbreaking parts of that scene, when she tells him how much their friendship means to her and it just kills him to hear it. You just know it would have been this huge moment for him in an earlier episode.

"I'm in love with you." (Hello)

He doesn't know what's going to happen next. He's been waiting in the wings for years, his lines rehearsed a thousand times or more. She looks blindsided, like the spotlight's on her and she's gotten stage fright. He'd always thought he'd catalogued every expression possible. This isn't one he understands.

"I can't." (Goodbye)

I really love the style of this, the hello goodbye format. Because those two scenes in themselves switched so much between hope and disappointment at it fits very well. Wonderful job!
