After "The Duel" on The Office last season, that pretty much meant the lewd and secret romance of Dwight and Angela (Aight? Dwangela?) was done forever. Right?

Looks like it. B.J. Novak, who writes and produces The Office and also plays Ryan Howard, recently told E!, "I love seeing Dwight as Dwight and Angela as Angela."

"While it was really exciting to see them together, I think there is still so much comedy you can show with Dwight Schrute being single, Dwight just being himself, Angela being Angela."

"I'm excited to see that for a while at least."

But, lest we abandon all hope, "There's always hope [for them], and the past is always present with everyone. It's a small office, so those things build up over time."
