寇洛琳一個人。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78tH32fOMv
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9jbjcA35t
她坐在宅子前的台階上，面對著沒人整理而有些荒蕪的庭園。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5cs1OX6vl
爸爸和媽媽不讓她去打擾他們，他們正為了新的工作而忙碌著，幾天後還準備要出差。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4ZLCVmCKR
除了午餐和晚餐時間，爸爸跟媽媽都各自關在他們的書房裡，靠近門邊，可以聽到：喀、喀、喀……這樣敲打電腦鍵盤的聲音。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD4KlZv6TD
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nz4uVrxzb
「親愛的，爸爸和媽媽正在工作。也許妳可以去找史小姐和福小姐，或是來個大冒險。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE2X60k4QN
「可是我昨天去過了。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohe9VhZHQT
「妳可以再去一次。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBC5xztxOr
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q8uEPGbQf
於是，她就這樣被趕了出來。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE3246ePhB
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSWCW7iZyd
一個人在房間裡玩玩具很無聊。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiWfPHNfbJ
一個人走到後面的破爛網球場再走回來也很無聊。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gd1RYyj3Q
而且自從夏天過後，她就不太想接近那口井。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYEt88I3VV
畢竟關在裡面的那個東西她一點也不想想起。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk6wGlsPTK
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEItdKEFJx
寇洛琳覺得無聊透了。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMC52SGIDy
她曬著太陽，懶洋洋地瞇起眼睛。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm1Gf7Wxwl
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2jlWwb9UG
草叢邊傳來窸窸窣窣的聲音，很像是老鼠在跑。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbelox8WakY
但是那東西明顯比老鼠大得多。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc3tS98BHX
她豎耳傾聽。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFA5V6i1xj
一團黑色的東西跳了出來，在草地上打滾，又站了起來，就像是綠油油的草地中一小片夜晚的天空。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV9HdYj0Un
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgC9tH0iCr
「是你！」寇洛琳驚訝地看著貓咪。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXtx07sUpy
她已經很久沒有看見牠了，自從夏天那場幾乎讓她心跳停止的冒險後，貓咪就很少出現在她面前。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Z51iwNbF
貓咪回望了她一眼，綠色的眼睛閃閃發光，就像在陽光下擺動的草。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKbWmPk11S
然後，牠優雅地坐下，與寇洛琳對望著。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TJtmf7B0w
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfNOcULmeN
「你願意陪我說說話嗎？」她問著貓咪。「已經很久沒有人陪我聊天了。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAXfEN7XcP
貓咪黑色的尾巴晃了晃。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PCQlgkKb4
「謝謝你。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi19wR4vs2
貓咪又走近了一些，然後坐下。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxitVszmd4
「爸爸和媽媽又不理我了。」她說。「我知道他們的工作很忙，也不想去打擾他們。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKErT79x3ng
「如果去跟他們抱怨的話，一定會得到『噢，親愛的寇洛琳，爸爸跟媽媽辛苦工作全都是為了妳』這樣的答案。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOGclPvLSJ
「他們老是叫我去找史小姐和福小姐，或是去和波波先生的老鼠玩。但是他們從來沒有主動陪我玩過。一次也沒有。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzz4xbupVd
貓咪抬起了綠色的眼睛，慢慢眨了眨眼。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xRuly9YmN
「我知道，你一定覺得這樣的我很幼稚，像個任性的小女孩。」她苦笑。「可是我的確是一個小女孩。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuSn7OuEv8
她低下了頭，把臉埋在膝蓋之間。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgUzAxpUUx
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8otZFIaXXg
「我只是想要有人陪我。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnWJBSXdDI
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq1MYbkL04
貓咪沒有說話。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXu1rJAjMo
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnKwPvrlbi
寇洛琳知道，在這邊的這個世界，貓咪都是不說話的。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQZz5Bb08T
可是她好想聽聽牠的聲音。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZs0uQy59
良久，寇洛琳抬起頭，用袖口擦了擦紅紅的鼻子和臉頰。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0LmfqNEhi
「我們是朋友，對吧？」她對貓咪說。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9V9iXs4o0
黑色的腳掌優雅且安靜地走向她，貓咪的尾巴甩啊甩，然後牠坐在她身旁，柔軟的毛茸茸前腳搭在她的膝上。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGb0sHwgvm
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZL80q4l97
「謝謝你，真的。」她抱起了貓咪，用力擁緊牠。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54mIh6DFJS
貓咪起先有些不適應，試著掙脫她，但最後放棄了掙扎，乖乖地被寇洛琳抱在懷中。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM3Woj4ocp
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsVLGqygGw
寇洛琳與貓咪度過了一個愉快的下午。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTtIWJ71YO
雖然只有她一個人在說話。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz7HHn4yvQ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm8UTCZP95
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6ZjDNIXoA
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoVZ1RdeT6
夜晚，寇洛琳與貓咪肩並肩躺在柔軟溫暖的床鋪上。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN7lGuBNwm
雖然她不確定貓咪是不是真的有肩膀，不過他們靠得很近，她的臉可以感受到貓咪柔軟的觸感。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lL5MDfJZc
星星在天空中一閃一閃，夜空的顏色跟貓咪身上的一樣。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcahVaynaSZ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2KNbYvwDl
「我想，爸爸要是看到了我跟你躺在一起，一定不會准我把寵物帶進房間睡覺。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLZkYeQ8G0
貓咪聽到這句話，不滿地抖了抖身子。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP59z3fU0Fz
「可是我會跟爸爸說，你不是寵物，你是我的朋友。」寇洛琳撫摸著貓咪的下巴，聽牠發出呼嚕呼嚕的聲響。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvzFJRDOM9
她打了個大大的呵欠。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79CpOcBQ6k
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cf9WbAklW
「晚安，貓咪。」她說，然後閉上了眼睛。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAcodf1ovW
貓咪綠色的瞳孔轉了轉，也緩緩地閉上。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIup98aKCJU
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xK22fhcPa
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvUqXqMSJU
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EfG0V0WBf
寇洛琳站在一片廣闊無垠的大草原上。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf7sZppeym
四周有山、有樹、有橋、有河流。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1meG3UD571
她從來沒見過這種景色。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkwBFQDQx9
草是銀色的，閃著銀河般的光芒，在夜風中搖來晃去，像棉絮一般柔軟。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBsO4LmSMm
遠方的山就像是由一塊巨大寶石堆積而成，發出七彩奪目的燦爛光芒。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5eWeBPmHx
樹上結著色彩繽紛的果子，看起來很可口；紫色的河中是滿滿的金魚游動。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbk2LBQWUm
她知道自己在夢中。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x3nsmjHxl
但是她從來沒有夢過這麼漂亮又詭異的景致。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe4Ey7mklG
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxl7yC6wQw
「寇洛琳。」有個聲音這樣叫她。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iHt3VRTTL
寇洛琳回頭張望，但是沒有半個人。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X1BGtkeox
「寇洛琳。」那聲音又叫了一遍。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeRcBPV0n0
那是很低沉、有點沙啞、帶著一些磁性，讓人聽了很安心很舒服的嗓音。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmpMf8vJFA
那個聲音並不是從任何地方傳來的，而是在寇洛琳腦中響起，直接傳達給她。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoCVMVcGn3
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcfkk30Eow
她知道並且熟悉這種感覺。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4l0hNSBn1
她認識那個聲音。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ovWEPBhPF
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMfTyBzGcL
「貓咪，是你嗎？」她說。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVUlyyV9Va
「是的，是我，寇洛琳。」貓咪的聲音再度響起。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSamKi74SSY
「你又會說話了耶！」她的語氣聽起來很開心，充滿喜悅。「可是你在哪裡？我看不到你。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70fkGk2cez
「我就在這裡。」貓咪說。「在這裡不需要形體，因為這裡就是這裡。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Vl7EF6Mi
牠又開始賣弄牠的「貓式哲學」。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElwgAo9sqi
寇洛琳嘟著嘴，有些不滿。但是她仍然很開心，可以聽到貓咪的聲音。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aw5Ez80fe
她踩了踩腳下，很軟，就像踩在自己的棉被上一樣軟。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa6HfjP1kQ
很好，她很滿意。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RmCe8SPLR
於是寇洛琳跨開大步奔跑著，從草地跑到小山丘上，再從山丘滾回草地上。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY97KLzkNi
她在小河中跳來跳去，濺起銀紫色的透明水花，看著河裏的金魚啪噠啪噠擺著鰭在她腳邊跳躍。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr09pkHYzr
反正這裡是夢裏，她愛怎麼玩都行。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDETmhEHyv
等到玩水玩夠了，她就躺在草地上滾來滾去。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w06RFuihV
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsNzwJC0cd
「我想你大概是我唯一的朋友。」她對貓咪說。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebSxSHa7sA
「我想，我大概是妳唯一的貓類朋友。」牠說。寇洛琳可以從語氣裏想像到牠聳肩的樣子。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjysLsPjLkv
「噢，那我大概也是你唯一的人類朋友吧。」寇洛琳吐吐舌，不滿牠的挖苦。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa1SjTEtU8
貓咪沒有接話。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmIigQY9BC
「不過我們是真正的朋友，對吧。」她露出甜甜的一笑。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74506L4cB3
「……嗯。」貓咪的語氣聽起來有些害羞。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZhptw5Y5V
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWRQb46lsW
「寇洛琳，」沉默了好一段時間，牠再度開口。「只要妳希望的話……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R7aEIBRad
低沉的嗓音清了清喉嚨。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaZDZ2InOb
「嗯？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvL8PFaBaz
「只要妳需要我，我就會陪在妳身邊。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqP6n5MM7A
「真的嗎！？」她興奮地尖叫起來，不太相信從貓咪口中會聽到這種話。「你的意思是，一直一直跟我在一起嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDt61ZZBZR
「嗯。」牠再度重申。「只要妳需要我的話。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEv8cYklpI
「你的口氣聽起來，好像哪一天我就不要你似的。」這讓寇洛琳聽起來很不舒服。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQIbtlMtJv
「不是嗎？你們人類總是喜新厭舊。」牠自嘲。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6TGN9ux6L
「才不會！」她大叫。「朋友之間是沒有這種事情的！」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFQSZCu91Z
「是嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf6SOH3l4j
「我們會一直一直在一起，沒有什麼新舊之分的！知道了嗎？」她氣瘋了，對著貓咪大聲說教。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTelEMkUJ8w
「……好吧，既然妳這麼說，我就試試看吧。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjP4PQiijw
寇洛琳滿意地點了點頭。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLyGNDaAHf
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP1kp5pUEn
「我會一直在妳身旁陪著妳，當妳的朋友，寇洛琳。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9GH8eK3dN
寇洛琳開心地笑了。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKHDJsvrms
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tCCaGXDRJ
然後，她又在夢中的世界玩了好久好久。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl0DzHvZog
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq50dclWbp9
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkZvPlU5yC
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4d41QTkCo
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDSD8JrHvZ
翌日，早晨的陽光射進窗戶，照在寇洛琳的臉上。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWFIiw3ZJp
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzblRQO7gy
「寇洛琳，起床囉。妳該去上學了。」媽媽站在床邊對她說。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYC6LaLIyZ
她睜開眼，床上只有她一個人，貓咪早就不見蹤影。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7J2aIXW1Z
不過她知道，牠就在她附近。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmtAGpwHtk
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPKQgjXd2t
牠會一直陪著她的。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDc4nHRKSS
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbwhfl8YGr
這個想法讓寇洛琳全身都感到暖洋洋的。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wnsd3VenK
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmb1AEfnET
「怎麼了，親愛的？一起床就傻笑。做了好夢嗎？」媽媽問。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69WRk0pG26
「嗯，算是吧。」她點點頭，下床把被子折好。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc3BuedV3S
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDDTKaP1NS
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNhg7eQd0j
接著，她換好衣服，走到客廳和家人共進早餐。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGAsY1kpZi

不過，小女孩寇洛琳終究會長大的50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67JIBAsvoF
寇洛林已經開始成長了50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnKWydsM1D
「永遠」這種東西對小孩來說或許很長50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7viXdhV7k
但是長大之後呢?50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBv0WW8NDx
所謂的一直在一起，又是多長的一段時間?50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct5rbHrLNs
重要的東西隨著時間的改變，是否仍然重要?50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdRKtUjI28
