I am so not in the mood for this.He takes the chair next to me and drapes a relaxed arm over the back of the empty seat on his other side. The man across from us is engrossed in his laptop,and I pretend to be engrossed in his laptop,too. Well,the back of it. St. Clair hums under his breath. When I don't respond,he sings quietly. \"Jingle bells,Batman smells,Robin flew away...\" \"Yes,great,I get it.Ha ha. Stupid me.\" \"What? It's just a Christmas song.\" He grins and continues a bit louder. \"Batmobile lost a wheel,on the M1 motorway,hey!\" \"Wait.\" I frown. \"What?\" \" What what?\" \"You're singing it wrong.\" \"No,I'm not.\" He pauses. \"How do you sing it?\" I pat my coat,double-checking for my passport. Phew. Still there. \"It's 'Jingle bells, Batman smells,Robin laid an egg'-\" St. Clair snorts. \"Laid an egg? Robin didn't lay an egg -\" \"'Batmobile lost a wheel, and the Joker got away. '\" He stares at me for a moment,and then says with perfect conviction. \"No.\" \"Yes.I mean,seriously,what's up with the motorway thing?\" \"M1 motorway. Connects London to Leeds.\" I smirk. \"Batman is American. He doesn't take the M1 motorway. \" \"When he's on holiday he does.\" \"Who says Batman has time to vacation?\" \"Why are we arguing about Batman?\" He leans forward. \"You're derailing us from the real topic.The fact that you, Anna Oliphant,slept in today.\" \"Thanks.\" \"You.\" He prods my leg with a finger. \"Slept in.\" I focus on the guy's laptop again. \"Yeah.You mentioned that.\" He flashes a crooked smile and shrugs, that full-bodied movement that turns him from English to French. \"Hey, we made it,didn't we? No harm done.\" I yank out a book from my backpack, Your Movie Sucks , a collection of Roger Ebert's favorite reviews of bad movies. A visual cue for him to leave me alone. St. Clair takes the hint. He slumps and taps his feet on the ugly blue carpeting. I feel guilty for being so harsh. If it weren't for him,I would've missed the flight. St. Clair's fingers absentmindedly drum his stomach. His dark hair is extra messy this morning. I'm sure he didn't get up that much earlier than me,but,as usual, the bed-head is more attractive on him. With a painful twinge,I recall those other mornings together. Thanksgiving.Which we still haven't talked about.”",
