Her face turned ashen.

“Do you not remember me?" he asked, gazing into her eyes.

Her eyes reflected pure terror.

“Release me!"

Their commotion drew a crowd.

"What seems to be the problem?"

The manager approached.

Surveying the mess, he asked with a friendly grin, “Mr. Walters, what happened? Was there an issue with the waitress's service?"

Forrest's mind cleared a bit.

Despite the striking resemblance to Laura, this waitress appeared clueless about him.

Her fear seemed genuine.

She didn't seem to be acting.

What happened?

Was it possible she had forgotten him?

"What's her name?" Forrest directed his question to the manager.

The manager responded, “Her name is Annot Griffin. She's been with us for two months. Mr. Walters, are you acquainted with her?"

"Yes," Forrest responded.

“I don't know you “ Annot took refuge behind the manager, accusing, “He harassed me!"

The manager chastised her in hushed tones, "What are you suggesting?

This is Mr. Walters."
