我對於落日與晚風的看法是：兩者錯離又同步，講求的是時機與緣份；愛情同樣講求這兩點，但是固中又有沒有人為可努力、可爭取促成的部份呢？落日與晚風，寒與熱的交匯之間能看盡人心的真與假、努力的渺小與高貴，就如下文的朱塔瑪與約納森。一切在人，人是因，人亦是果。699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPNZRHeNrR

大腦將這段女音回放了一整天，身旁的引擎風與歡呼聲衝擊著男人從未止痛的心臟。一切都沒變，卻也面目全非：凌厲的、果敢的，全都屬於那個他夢迴千百遍的人。

約納森．麥巴倫扯開道微笑，連話語都隱隱顫抖——不知道是被那些言詞刺痛了，還是百味雜陳的愛戀讓他快要窒息而亡。

絕對的硬碰硬是戰場上最愚蠢的做法，於是朱塔瑪深深調息，然後沿著賭城大道南行。赭紅早已染塗一邊天，照落她一頭棕黑摻藍的髮絲；十二月的美國西部內陸清涼而乾燥，黃沙微鹹隨風拂過她刺青的後頸，倒比當年黃昏持槍在阿富汗當值好過些。現在她走在賭城街頭就只是個普通的美國公民，孑然一身得高貴——

約納森立即回話，又往眼前一身米白的泰裔女人靠近了些，最後一直維持落後她三、四米。沙漠夕陽下緊綰的棕髮低調沉實，如年輪般無聲訴說她六年消聲匿跡的成長——作為前長官、前戰友，誠然他樂見最短的歲月將她打磨成身心狀態最佳、最有力的武器。

有幾陣冷風肆虐心房，男人擰起了雙眉，深藍似海的眼眸烙印著那整綰的軍髻與性感的刺青。上次這樣看她已經是七年半前的事了；那最後一個他駐守阿富汗的夜晚，她就坐在男軍宿舍門前的路口發呆。她頸後的阿拉伯文讓他拋棄了軍紀與理智，走上前帶她走進了他的駐地……

那一天，從黃昏到深夜，他與她互相索求。濃烈的愛意讓軍舍床笫間的哭聲與呻吟銘刻他的心底，從此潰瘍化膿，日夜折磨著從償願的他。

約納森聞聲回神，朱塔瑪站到了白石欄邊，面朝著百樂宮的招牌豪華噴泉。波瀾萬千的水面已然染上夜晚的第一道靛彩，溫暖的景象正飛速消逝。

剛好今日自己穿了一身米白馬甲與長褲，連高跟鞋都是Jimmy Choo的婚鞋，不說真以為她是誰的新娘。所以問題來了，有哪個新娘會想當Titanic裏的蘿絲小姐？那可是新婚即喪偶守寡。不過今時今日婚姻早已不重要，婚後生活形同守寡的大有人在，倒不需要過於感慨。

觀望著名的噴泉表演，水柱間她彷彿看見了耍樂於巴米揚黃昏的自己。那一天下了罕見的太陽雨，在晚霞的雨水與山谷微風下她跑向了他、第一次與他接吻，就在隊友和長官面前高調地相愛——仍然一身戰服、一手鐵血，但她感覺自己已經成為了他相守到老的妻子。她發過誓她會遵守與莉莉小姐的約定，不會讓病魔或者戰火奪走她和他的未來……
