The Kiss

The Kiss

If you are a fan of The Office, like me you know that this ain't no ordinary kiss. It's hard to explain, unless you've watched the series. Writers Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais put the audience through absolute torture as they watch this lovestruck pair NOT fulfill their romantic destiny until the very bitter end. Almost every episode makes their union seem less and less hopeful. Dawn is engaged to the heartless warehouse worker Lee and is reluctant to leave the security of being in a longterm relationship. And poor officemate Tim, whose simply lovestruck with the lovely Dawn knows his boundaries, and only oversteps them when his feelings get the better of him. And even though I know the ending, I still get the same anxiety from wondering if they are ever going to get together (even more so than Mr. Darcy & Elizabeth Bennett's union in P&P). ::Sigh:: L'amour! C'est magnifique!
