Example: My fiancé calls me and has a conversation with me. At the end, she will sometimes say something like ” There was one more thing I wanted to say, but I cant remember what it was..”
What’s making our brains do this?

We only have so much working memory, and it’s used for storing the list of things we need to talk about, the specifics of those things, and for the conversation itself. Sometimes the work of conversation knocks one of the specifics out, but doesn’t knock out the entry in the list that refers to it.
