双语故事:深情凝眸（Staring Me In The Face）(2)

　　A few days after the crash, he stopped at the table I was sharing with Mark from proof reading, and asked if he might sit down. I said the seats were taken and continued eating. He apologised and took his tray off somewhere else.

　　"What's your problem, Leanna?" asked Mark.

　　"No problem. It's just that I like to choose who I share my mealtimes with."

　　"A bit rough on the old chap though."

　　I shrugged.

　　It was Mark who told me more about him. He had gone over to scrounge a cigarette. By the time he came back to the table, I had my head stuck into the news-paper.

　　"Interesting chap. Sub-editor. Been all over the world," said Mark.

　　I decided to find the newspaper more interesting and finally Mark shut up and finished smoking.

　　"Asked your name," he said.

　　"He what?"

　　"Yeah."

　　"What'd you say?"

　　"Leanna, of course."

　　I folded the newspaper.

　　"I've loads of work this afternoon."

　　"Said you look familiar," said Mark. "Like someone he knew."

　　"Someone he knew?"

　　"Yeah. Could be strategy. Maybe he fancies you."

　　"Fancies me? But he's old."
