Pam and the film crew were squashed into the back of the van as it sped off to the airport. She still felt sick after the conversation with Roy but felt lighter than she had in years. There was no more room for regret now, those days are over, she had to seize this moment and not look back. She couldn't hide anymore. In her moment of reflection she found a piece of paper being placed into her hand by shy Alex. When she looked down and opened it up she found two addresses written down. "It's the two hotels he's staying in. One in Sydney and one on the coast near the barrier reef, he won't be there for another few days but, you know, plans change." Everyone in the van grinned at this last comment and Pam jokingly rolled her eyes.

"Thank you, I can't believe he gave this to you." She placed the piece of paper inside the congratulations card and placed it next to her passport.

"Oh he didn't. We were making calls while you were... busy just now." Alex fidgeted uncomfortably while Pam looked down at her feet slightly guilty.

"I know my timing could have been better but I need to do this for-" she was cut off before she could finish but an excited Marcia

"Hey Pam, you don't need to convince us, we've been waiting for you to do the right thing for ages, since we turned up really."

"Really? Was it that obvious?" She wiped away an escaped tear. She felt safe surrounded by people supporting her. It tore her up to think about many people were angry at her right now.

"Kinda obvious." Everyone nodded, still smiling that they happened to be participants in the story rather than observers.

"I just can't leave it any longer. I should stay and sort out the apartment, sending back the gifts and dealing with all the fallout but I need to see him. I need to see Jim."

"Oh my gosh!" Marcia was practically bouncing in her seat.

"What are you going to say?" asked Pedro.

"Aren't you mad that I made you postpone your honeymoon? I mean, they made you work today for this."

"Nah, the honeymoon coincides with my niece's birthday, she was too young to fly out here so it's all worked out. Come on, what are you going to say when you see him?"

"I'm not sure. I mean, I have an idea, but I'll figure it out on the plane. Oh my god, I've never left the country before and now I'm going to Australia on a moments notice. I must be mad." Pam rubbed her forehead like she was getting a headache.

"No, just in love." Said Alex quietly, earning himself a playful punch in the arm from Marcia. Pam smiled and blushed as another image of Jim appeared in her mind's eye.

"You have your passport?" asked Marcia, ever efficient.

"Yep. Just need tickets and a toothbrush from the airport."

"So what happened, what made you change your mind, sweetie?"

Pam smiled to herself. "One day I'll tell you the whole story, right now I just want to see if I haven't left it too late."

Double upload today because this chapter is quite short. I also wanted to get past all the Roy stuff so we can focus on Jim and Pam from now on! Hope you're enjoying the more slowburning storyline.
