“You know how when you see a movie or read a book you really like, and you haven’t seen it in a few years and you start to lose the details?” she said quietly. “You forget some of the great lines or the subplots, the names of side characters?

When someone asks you to tell them about it, all you can recall is it’s a Western or a drama or an action flick.”
