Great story, fabulously written as ever, and I loved the last line... I wonder if they ever asked/confessed that neither of them knew the other's name. As someone who constantly forgets to pay attention when people tell me their name (not in the same situation, of course!) I have a certain sympathy with both of them! :)
Oh man, I am AWFUL with names!!! I can remember all kinds of things that people tell me, but I am forever forgetting their names. Even trying all the tricks in the book to remember and I still forget. :/ Actually, I have the same problem when writing stories as well. I get half way through and then go 'wait, what the hell is this persons NAME?' so it's not even JUST in person!
