寇洛琳一個人。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4bOaQdh96
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zU73dRJ4p
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMVcu0n925
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRicT0rqu6q
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnwcZewTzN
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagtHHgEnSl
「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。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvchgNMzAS
「可是我昨天去過了。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAqdDJwJnf
「妳可以再去一次。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFDSBHhbXQ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PIUNwbRXO
於是，她就這樣被趕了出來。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhacZnfyor
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG68405WW8
一個人在房間裡玩玩具很無聊。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU5UvriKxF
一個人走到後面的破爛網球場再走回來也很無聊。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMvWG3MvTw
而且自從夏天過後，她就不太想接近那口井。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ng63Ey9m
畢竟關在裡面的那個東西她一點也不想想起。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dHm8qVZYc
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4YJ5LrvO0
寇洛琳覺得無聊透了。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJADHon4Tn
她曬著太陽，懶洋洋地瞇起眼睛。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvIAQHdscv
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkToTxXU4E
草叢邊傳來窸窸窣窣的聲音，很像是老鼠在跑。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx851JjtuLe
但是那東西明顯比老鼠大得多。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPTwqvSj4E
她豎耳傾聽。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCerFdBNV8C
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RdJmICef7
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx2kMy5uh2
「是你！」寇洛琳驚訝地看著貓咪。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL2JTnL0Vu
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1drb1TRxE
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZU4Qjozip
然後，牠優雅地坐下，與寇洛琳對望著。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkuFCFOS9X
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ajyWLyvPE
「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。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmV1L4WDS
貓咪黑色的尾巴晃了晃。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UQrsrpWsa
「謝謝你。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5SScUpuAQ
貓咪又走近了一些，然後坐下。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9B8muQzqt
「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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqveJ4TgAHD
「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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i0C0r6xb5
「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。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzH9p0z5mZ
貓咪抬起了綠色的眼睛，慢慢眨了眨眼。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XxUPJaXtJ
「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。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEwCwN5roQ
她低下了頭，把臉埋在膝蓋之間。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweuRLWYrjE
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyIrDKb1WI
「我只是想要有人陪我。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPgpJ5q1gZ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCzCW0o7Fk
貓咪沒有說話。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mEB5SpkRE
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglJc1QzL12
寇洛琳知道，在這邊的這個世界，貓咪都是不說話的。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRwkDOJyRY
可是她好想聽聽牠的聲音。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSSEKdXHqH
良久，寇洛琳抬起頭，用袖口擦了擦紅紅的鼻子和臉頰。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxraTCWrp9
「我們是朋友，對吧？」她對貓咪說。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnLAeghoCY
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZIbWmuMkX
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqHTrMNwkb
「謝謝你，真的。」她抱起了貓咪，用力擁緊牠。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxBPjAUHmS
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89DRxee78V
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDwzArYcHe
寇洛琳與貓咪度過了一個愉快的下午。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4sL463maQ
雖然只有她一個人在說話。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip4l6SwQXT
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk3ICsEH31
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv3ZqEGozZ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtaNViZXEO
夜晚，寇洛琳與貓咪肩並肩躺在柔軟溫暖的床鋪上。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWD5IOg5hq
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7HlyX8PU5
星星在天空中一閃一閃，夜空的顏色跟貓咪身上的一樣。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43OgC0xKyE
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUvneCwOHi
「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。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdoMHKz7jn
貓咪聽到這句話，不滿地抖了抖身子。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe90tJFa9MZ
「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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDO46LuTKi
她打了個大大的呵欠。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87gCvXpzIc
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eqcYJGhV8
「晚安，貓咪。」她說，然後閉上了眼睛。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U8l311R9N
貓咪綠色的瞳孔轉了轉，也緩緩地閉上。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1IkK1hXbN
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rtIRpunW3
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvhvHMQDoB
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9LiVhghWx
寇洛琳站在一片廣闊無垠的大草原上。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1uqG0ODX8
四周有山、有樹、有橋、有河流。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYykIVzybq
她從來沒見過這種景色。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZjukpimxx
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu9yPhehvE
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqSioMhers
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWiKG4h0ng
她知道自己在夢中。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFpA5sjU3h
但是她從來沒有夢過這麼漂亮又詭異的景致。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDW9bqyAzA
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj00coutPl
「寇洛琳。」有個聲音這樣叫她。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz7KJDnM5i
寇洛琳回頭張望，但是沒有半個人。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkcyTzlBJd
「寇洛琳。」那聲音又叫了一遍。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVISHUluE4M
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnRSPifwnh
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWGMDhxGSI
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIqLAMzhLs
她知道並且熟悉這種感覺。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3tLlc0WF8
她認識那個聲音。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRYqGurOly
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3vxrhbEu8
「貓咪，是你嗎？」她說。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsUUqd7Dzy
「是的，是我，寇洛琳。」貓咪的聲音再度響起。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GbjCZjZQV
「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。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmOSkHkvyl
「我就在這裡。」貓咪說。「在這裡不需要形體，因為這裡就是這裡。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy10HeQNv0
牠又開始賣弄牠的「貓式哲學」。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRtcMosMFj
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX91ABF6tL
她踩了踩腳下，很軟，就像踩在自己的棉被上一樣軟。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0LAjySXR8
很好，她很滿意。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NgxqNK3X6
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMi2sg88BG
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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeDjKKzWTo
反正這裡是夢裏，她愛怎麼玩都行。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKa7eTb2p8
等到玩水玩夠了，她就躺在草地上滾來滾去。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewa2xTNx0N
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWrpGzeJ0K
「我想你大概是我唯一的朋友。」她對貓咪說。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJvsuRe4u1
「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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWufd9ODCiV
「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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9dOT6vEwO
貓咪沒有接話。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkP9ojbxTf
「不過我們是真正的朋友，對吧。」她露出甜甜的一笑。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7fJ8F0lNQ
「……嗯。」貓咪的語氣聽起來有些害羞。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7bXnZi2w3
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWcLS9WVgJ
「寇洛琳，」沉默了好一段時間，牠再度開口。「只要妳希望的話……」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkUydfC3lB
低沉的嗓音清了清喉嚨。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpod8xTtkl
「嗯？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy1wFS3Mox
「只要妳需要我，我就會陪在妳身邊。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVyfxBcO6a
「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？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeaqjNOTXO
「嗯。」牠再度重申。「只要妳需要我的話。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ9sundHwN
「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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uoshz3PwK
「不是嗎？你們人類總是喜新厭舊。」牠自嘲。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6AzgYuEI9
「才不會！」她大叫。「朋友之間是沒有這種事情的！」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM0FDQFEw2
「是嗎？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAFvYirAJz
「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。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN9ha8TmnX
「……好吧，既然妳這麼說，我就試試看吧。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhsfGw67du
寇洛琳滿意地點了點頭。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkycL8k8Be5
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghXwyCwhYG
「我會一直在妳身旁陪著妳，當妳的朋友，寇洛琳。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ft2TUJe7m
寇洛琳開心地笑了。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoR7s7vXrk
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSb4UGX3ti
然後，她又在夢中的世界玩了好久好久。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGGgNVCyNY
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fOzFf1dIg
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr80clxmgIx
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapsEa5d2wS
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3AvwZLkkz
翌日，早晨的陽光射進窗戶，照在寇洛琳的臉上。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSehySO9IDp
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3esd2KQ9j
「寇洛琳，起床囉。妳該去上學了。」媽媽站在床邊對她說。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AN0QUD14h
她睜開眼，床上只有她一個人，貓咪早就不見蹤影。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeOtkXJX6w
不過她知道，牠就在她附近。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuPSt1YdRq
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuGDFUL4ma
牠會一直陪著她的。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFLGkIzZEl
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7naFiMSnxE
這個想法讓寇洛琳全身都感到暖洋洋的。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2uhpN6bnt
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFApzJy0f8p
「怎麼了，親愛的？一起床就傻笑。做了好夢嗎？」媽媽問。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWur5yiSVS3
「嗯，算是吧。」她點點頭，下床把被子折好。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPoQit3WP6
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90l5nlhCnC
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSfWpMa0JC
接著，她換好衣服，走到客廳和家人共進早餐。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9RbdAPnZO

不過，小女孩寇洛琳終究會長大的40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5rFyn3ERE
寇洛林已經開始成長了40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN0zOU77dE
「永遠」這種東西對小孩來說或許很長40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEFKAYp0J5
但是長大之後呢?40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc73DTvdk60
所謂的一直在一起，又是多長的一段時間?40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTKYgGt51y
重要的東西隨著時間的改變，是否仍然重要?40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCGC6G7T8f
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkVIaddKm6
不過，我還是很喜歡寇洛琳與貓咪「現在」的這段情誼40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinfPfIDfpy
