Pam is sitting behind her desk at work, waiting to hear from Jim.
Damn I don't have anywhere to put this Queen.
I was winning too.
Michael?
Oh…Jan.
"Where's Michael?"
"He left, I don't know."
"What's going on here?"
"What do you mean?"
Oh…
Phyllis.
I don't think we were supposed to know.
"Listen up everyone, I am exhausted I have driven something like 200 miles in the last few hours. But your branch will not be closing. We are closing the Stamford office, more information will follow at a later time but you're jobs are safe."
Oh my god!
Why didn't Jim call me?
Oh…maybe, no he'll come back.
"Jan?"
"Yes Pam."
"Is um, anyone from that office going to be coming back?"
"Back?"
"Coming here, I mean transferring here?"
"Probably, nothing is certain yet."
"What about Jim?"
"Oh, yes. He is going to be the assistant regional manager, beneath Michael."
Oh my god!
A promotion?
So…he'll be my boss?
Oh that's weird…
And kinda sexy.
"Oh. Ok, I was just wondering."
"If you hear from Michael would you please have him call my cell?"
"Sure thing Jan."
I have to call Michael.
Where is he?
Answer your phone…answer your phone!
Oh my god he has that ring that plays a song while you wait.
Fergie.
Guh, voicemail.
Oh I have to call Jim.
"This is Jim."
"Why didn't you tell me!? What happened? Oh my god! So you're coming back? Oh my god! I feel a little like Kelly right now."
"And hello to you too Beesly. I wanted you to be surprised."
"Oh and I was, I almost jumped up and kissed Jan."
"Wow, sorry I missed that. Probably would've had to have another sexual harassment seminar though."
"Michael's still out of the office with Dwight. I have no idea where he is and I called his cell. What happened? This morning it was us, what happened?"
"Josh was kind of a jerk. Jan pulled us into his office and she was telling us about it, and he said he was offered a position at Staples, and he's taking it."
"No... really? Wow"
"Exactly. I was thinking, no matter how bad Michael can get at times, he would never do that."
"You're right."
"So I guess I don't need to finish unpacking."
AHHH!
He's coming back!
He's coming baaack!
"You mean, you still have boxes that haven't been unpacked yet? How long have you been there?"
"I like the simple homeless look."
"Dork."
"So, are you going to help me pack this weekend? I'll bribe you with food and ice cream."
"Wow, you sure do know how to make a girl swoon… Of course I'll help just don't forget the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, or it could get ugly."
"Deal."
"So…are you going to move back in with Mark? Or, um…maybe your own place?"
My stomach is flipping upside down.
"Oh, um you know what, hadn't really thought about it. That's weird. Um, yeah maybe I should call Mark tonight. Hopefully he didn't get another roommate yet, that would be an easy move."
"Well… you know, if, well if you can't find somewhere…uh…quickly you can crash at my place. Until you find somewhere of course, I mean, not that you couldn't stay, but, you know what I mean."
Oh my god, why was a born with a mouth?
"Thanks Beesly, wow I'm so glad to see the idea of me staying with you can get you all flusterificated."
"Flusterificated?"
"I like to make up my own words."
"Dork."
"You said that already."
"I hate you."
"Yep, said that one too. For some reason I'm not believing you though, might be my sixth sense."
This is just way too much.
"Anyway, oh wow, I just got an email from Kelly. It sounds like she's really excited that she and Ryan are getting to stay together. Oh and she wants to know if you're coming back, with a lot of capital letters and exclamation points."
"You should tell her I'm only coming back if she can convince Michael we should get casual Fridays back."
"Ohhh that's a good idea. Brilliant Halpert, that's why they made you Assistant Regional Manager."
"How did you know?"
"Jan. That was another reason I wanted to jump up and kiss her."
"Awww, now I'm blushing."
"My powers are strong even over state lines."
The idea of him blushing…quite adorable.
I think it's getting hot in here.
Maybe that's just me!
"Hey, can I call you tonight? We're going to have a meeting, about the whole closing merging thing."
"Of course."
"Will you wait patiently by the phone, waiting for it to ring?"
"Suck it."
"Ohh, alright."
Oh my
"Get to work."
"Continue to think about me."
"You wish."
Oh I will.
"You're right. Love you."
Was that my heart?
"I love you too, bye."
I should call Michael again.
Or Dwight, I have his cell number too.
I hate this song…why won't he answer it?
He knows it's the office, or does he?
Maybe he doesn't know his own work's phone number.
Possible.
Fine I'll call Dwight.
…
He's not answering either.
Fine I'll just leave a message.
"Dwight, it's Pam. Jan came back to the office and said we're not closing, that they'll be closing the Stamford branch. You and Michael can come back now."
Why do I need to be the babysitter?
Where's Jim going to sit?
Ryan's at his old desk.
Maybe he'll make him move so he's closer to Michael.
He will be number two, he can make him move.
I'd hate to think he'll sit at that desk.
His back would be to me.
This has been a really long day.
"Pam?"
"Oh hey Phyllis."
"Did you hear? Jim's coming back."
"Oh yeah, I know, I talked to him earlier."
"You two are still talking? That's so great. Oh I better go, see you tomorrow."
"Night."
What should I have for dinner tonight?
While I wait by the phone.
