I walk into the coffee shop. It is a sunny morning. I see a woman near the door. She smiles and waves at me. I know her face. We met at a party last month. 'Hello! How are you?' she asks. 'I am fine, thank you,' I say. But I have a problem. I do not remember her name. My mind is blank. Was it Sarah? Or Susan? Maybe it was Anna. I am not sure. She talks about the weather. I nod and smile. 'How is your work?' I ask. She tells me about her job. I still cannot remember her name. My friend walks into the shop. 'Hey, this is my friend Tom,' I say. 'Nice to meet you, Tom. I am Lisa,' she says. Lisa! Her name is Lisa! I feel so relieved. Now I will never forget her name again.
