A LOVER 'S PORTRAIT:

An executive sees a new girl in the office and thinks he 's known her before. It intrigues him, and he makes her acquaintance, even invites her out to lunch, trying to figure it out. She of course thinks he 's coming onto her, and plays her part... After all, he 's a married man. He realizes that they two were not only friends once, but were in love.
He of course is sincere, and is really puzzled as to where he 's seen her before... No, met!
He confides in his wife as they were loungeing on the sofa... "You know, there 's a new girl in the office, and I swear I 've known her from somewhere, but where?"
"She 's probably an old school mate or someone... Did you ask her name?"
"Yes, but no... That 's is, the name doesn 't ring a bell"
"It 's the face, the mannerisms, even her voice... It 's like I should say at any moment... Oh! So and so...! She doesn 't seem to have a clue as to have seen me before... Cooky uh?"
"I 'll say... I ran into an old girlfriend of mine at a department store once, she knew me, but I didn 't recognize her... That is until she reminded me..."
"But that 's just it, I honestly can 't say for sure if I ever have known her"
"She could be the resemblance of someone else"
"I suppose so..."
"....well...don 't look too close..."
"Jealous eh?"
They make love
Still he 's perplexed... He feels it 's more then a passing acquaintance... More like a once deep bond... Maybe, even love? 'But something that intimate would present no mystery....
