Separated at Prom?

| So I have a new
girlfriend. Julie. Been dating two months, so we still
reek of endorphins. (You know the drill: every waking moment
together, promising Heaven and Earth, ignoring even our best-est
of friends, etc.) About a month ago, I pulled out the scrapbooks
and all the accompanying (and hopefully amusing) photos of Yours
Hammy in high school and college and graduating from the Fire
Academy. (Big, big smile at that last one.) Plus a prom
photo, tucked inside something called a "Senior Memory
Book," a cute piece of mass-marketed junk that Julie, it,
like, so happens, possessed an identical version of. (This
despite her having graduated in Illinois instead of N.C.-- towns
of Normal and Morehead City, respectively-- and four years earlier.)
So Julie sees my prom pic and screams. "Oh my [Gosh!] You
look just like my prom date!" And, sure enough, I
do... rest
