Chapter one: The Night of Truth
"Don't wait up Hun!" He yelled as Karen walked out the door. He didn't want her to sit there, waiting for him, looking at him with those big puppy dog eyes. He'd thought he had been in love with her eyes, and he had convinced himself it was love, until he saw Pam again. He had forgotten all about her, her hair, her eyes, her smile, the little things about her he had tried so hard to forget, yet when he saw her again all those feelings came rushing back to him, and he knew that she was the only one for him.
He'd kept telling himself that tonight would be the night it would all turn out okay. He'd get rid of that stupid sales associate and get back with the receptionist, who was all he'd ever wanted in the first place; no matter how much he had tried to convince himself otherwise. He was in love with her, the girl he had known since her first day at Dunder-Mifflin, she was the one for him, and he knew it. The one who's Mom had asked to see him. The one who helped him mess with Dwight's small brain. He loved her, always had and always would.
She certainly hadn't forgotten him. She'd spent nights, after leaving Roy, laying awake thinking of him. And now here he was, standing in front of her, calling another girl 'Hun' and unknowingly breaking her heart. Jim went and sat back down. Before he went to talk to her, to bear his soul, he closed his eyes and went back to that fateful day five years ago….
