I think we're all missing the point, but on the right track (no pun intended for the train). The issue that is still unresolved with this discussion is why is she (I'll accept it is a she AND a past romantic relationship) asking him what he remembers? And why does it matter? The rest I agree with. It makes sense. And it rings true. But why does she not remember and why is it important? And if she is asking him what he remembers, clearly he has to have a way (or at least she BELIEVES he has a way) of communicating with her.
