「許墨,你知道嗎?15Please respect copyright.PENANA7t5prxEerI
人一旦開始懷念過去,就很容易誤以為自己還活在過去。」15Please respect copyright.PENANAilKkOJS2WM
第一站——薩頓(Sutton)15Please respect copyright.PENANAqTBweCfAQK
時間:第三年初,1月15Please respect copyright.PENANAgMefR4EUou
天氣:冬季,大雪封山15Please respect copyright.PENANAbJGOVR7Dbv
15Please respect copyright.PENANACKpkuGIE7w
飛機降落在蒙特婁機場時,城市仍籠罩在寒冷的冬霧中。許墨穿著深色長風衣,拎著行李走入機場外的計程車站。15Please respect copyright.PENANAUWF1a3AQ2j
15Please respect copyright.PENANAtxVHQddrmt
「去哪?」計程車司機操著一口法語口音的英語問道。15Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2Myh2THyu
15Please respect copyright.PENANAzYK4NPtsJk
「薩頓。」許墨簡短地回答,將視線投向窗外的城市景色。15Please respect copyright.PENANAeqNrE0MQXA
15Please respect copyright.PENANANaIIuDdF9v
這座城鎮遠離繁華,靜謐而低調。白雪覆蓋了山坡,薩頓小鎮的街道上行人寥寥,木製的咖啡館與舊書店沿著主街一字排開。15Please respect copyright.PENANAY0SOMwuJ3W
15Please respect copyright.PENANAx6WHLNF5Qo
他依照蘇硯的行動模式,選擇這個地方作為第一站。15Please respect copyright.PENANA8BGvMf4fv0
15Please respect copyright.PENANAPdGOk7e7al
在鎮上的一家小咖啡館,他點了一杯黑咖啡,隨意地打開筆電,觀察周遭的動靜。15Please respect copyright.PENANAWeDpLNkQ7I
15Please respect copyright.PENANAXS9pqtLA1f
「先生,您是第一次來這裡嗎?」店員熱情地與他攀談。15Please respect copyright.PENANADjzBiZG6IH
15Please respect copyright.PENANA7uCpBNVnoF
「是。」許墨語氣溫和,指尖敲著咖啡杯沿,「這裡很安靜,很適合休息。」15Please respect copyright.PENANAXZjS4Zys3P
15Please respect copyright.PENANApFt1dBRMtN
「是啊,我們這裡很多人來度假,還有些……來這裡散心的。」15Please respect copyright.PENANAAwl7PZQTMY
15Please respect copyright.PENANAri1EmQuuOX
這句話讓許墨的視線微微一動。15Please respect copyright.PENANAaRwtkFA6w5
15Please respect copyright.PENANAYOyFfz5Zjg
他輕聲問:「來這裡散心的人,會長住嗎?」15Please respect copyright.PENANArcB2W564bR
15Please respect copyright.PENANAPWr5ByeATm
店員笑了笑:「偶爾有,但大多待幾個月就走了,畢竟這裡冬天太冷,不適合長住。」15Please respect copyright.PENANA2E6QBBKb8Z
15Please respect copyright.PENANAfhbLlSxoGl
他在薩頓待了幾天,詢問了幾個店家,沒有任何關於微瀾的線索。15Please respect copyright.PENANAyju6wMZykV
15Please respect copyright.PENANAxAGRLl3Pmi
「她沒有來過這裡。」15Please respect copyright.PENANAZPAvsLHBPw
15Please respect copyright.PENANAKU26D0Lt5M
這是許墨的結論。15Please respect copyright.PENANAlT38JpVH1u
第二站——維多利亞海濱(Victoria-by-the-Sea)15Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Svxsu3DM
時間:第三年初,3月15Please respect copyright.PENANARVl4IOGfb3
天氣:春寒,海風仍然帶著涼意15Please respect copyright.PENANAFKwXut8iLG
15Please respect copyright.PENANAhf58nBfRQX
維多利亞海濱位於愛德華王子島,與薩頓完全不同,這裡的風景充滿海洋氣息。許墨抵達時,海岸邊仍有些許殘雪,咖啡館與書店依舊營業,但遊客不多。15Please respect copyright.PENANA77dr2OZjal
15Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ldqCSUKg
這是一個比薩頓更適合隱居的地方。15Please respect copyright.PENANAVYUC4WoKrB
15Please respect copyright.PENANABhYwmKCUnU
他沿著海濱散步,進入鎮上的幾家店鋪,詢問是否有亞洲面孔的女性曾在這裡長住。15Please respect copyright.PENANAZVskwex7xe
15Please respect copyright.PENANAluT7wM9NBb
「亞洲女孩?」當地的一位旅店老闆聳聳肩,「這裡有,但大多是短暫停留的旅客。」15Please respect copyright.PENANAEOIGtxG1CX
15Please respect copyright.PENANAeE0pwa6zTp
「她或許是個作家,或者……畫家。」許墨的語氣輕描淡寫,試圖引導對方提供更多訊息。15Please respect copyright.PENANAhKl8JtFO9w
15Please respect copyright.PENANAVE3kGUhTHJ
老闆想了想,搖頭道:「這裡有幾位作家,但沒有你說的那種。」15Please respect copyright.PENANAVSoOTEGsAG
15Please respect copyright.PENANAg4XHgV2dbF
他在這裡停留了一週,卻依舊沒有微瀾的痕跡。15Please respect copyright.PENANAObdIDijErQ
15Please respect copyright.PENANAsSNt8tOWIE
第二次失敗,許墨卻沒有一絲焦躁。15Please respect copyright.PENANADBFIIBW3hV
15Please respect copyright.PENANAi3jInD1axB
他知道,微瀾一定在某個地方,他只是還沒走到正確的路上。15Please respect copyright.PENANATtR4GLKvZv
第三站——艾洛拉(Elora)15Please respect copyright.PENANARV0gLObeIr
時間:第三年中,7月15Please respect copyright.PENANAxxgGo4K4hn
天氣:盛夏,綠意盎然的藝術小鎮15Please respect copyright.PENANAxnHYE7Y7ZR
15Please respect copyright.PENANAT9BnKaOmsY
艾洛拉以藝術家村聞名,擁有眾多手工藝店與咖啡館。這裡更符合微瀾的風格,她或許會選擇這樣的地方,尋找新的生活方式。15Please respect copyright.PENANAKClU4xYAYE
15Please respect copyright.PENANANL9iDijw9a
這一次,許墨在這裡住了半個月,走遍了鎮上的藝術市集,甚至參加了幾場畫展,但仍然沒有微瀾的身影。15Please respect copyright.PENANAV3gitfwUms
15Please respect copyright.PENANA5vnnAxJfLR
他開始懷疑自己的方向是否正確。15Please respect copyright.PENANAvfgfBQzNoS
15Please respect copyright.PENANAwFgCju3LFh
然而,就在他準備離開時,他在一家小書店中,聽見了一個有趣的談話——15Please respect copyright.PENANAyQDyW1dLgR
15Please respect copyright.PENANAx6lQE5go06
「聽說安布羅斯鎮那邊有個小小的咖啡館,挺有意思的。」15Please respect copyright.PENANAya8dWort81
15Please respect copyright.PENANAARptxD7hZo
「安布羅斯鎮?」另一人疑惑,「沒聽過。」15Please respect copyright.PENANAIUXHBdnPGS
15Please respect copyright.PENANA6UubNZfPKW
「超小的鎮,連地圖上都找不到,據說咖啡館裡有個亞洲女生……」15Please respect copyright.PENANAoRR82Avr48
15Please respect copyright.PENANAGiY21pWWcY
許墨站在書架前,手指微微一頓。15Please respect copyright.PENANADYTC8f7C5V
15Please respect copyright.PENANA1TDwPs23SX
——這個地方,他的名單上沒有。15Please respect copyright.PENANAcbglfItT1M
15Please respect copyright.PENANAISYOKVJi7p
「安布羅斯鎮。」15Please respect copyright.PENANAv50zPAEYVT
15Please respect copyright.PENANAEA1Oyi2E3e
他,終於接近了。15Please respect copyright.PENANAt3txTPn0Un
15Please respect copyright.PENANAGwEDjIrRlu
第四站——安布羅斯鎮(Ambrose)15Please respect copyright.PENANAtqE7dulaf3
時間:三個月前,9月15Please respect copyright.PENANATYU2oR9M47
天氣:入秋,溫暖的微風15Please respect copyright.PENANAkqImxvJdSf
15Please respect copyright.PENANAY2Kd6aQBL9
當許墨抵達這個幾乎無法在地圖上找到的小鎮時,他才真正理解這裡為何適合隱居。15Please respect copyright.PENANAPWsbb52UtI
15Please respect copyright.PENANAudFgmJdoW7
寧靜、與世無爭,連鎮上最熱鬧的地方也只是幾家雜貨店與一家小型書店。15Please respect copyright.PENANAaf11z45xq5
15Please respect copyright.PENANAZiNJGZzPxA
他站在鎮中心的廣場上,深深吸了一口氣。15Please respect copyright.PENANAHemFmzB3tl
15Please respect copyright.PENANAZYhmDuTBPD
這裡,幾乎沒有任何人注意到他的到來。15Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5kEBRvIhL
15Please respect copyright.PENANAIw1JSdwSGx
他開始走訪鎮上的店家,最後,在鎮尾的街角,他看見了一家極為低調的咖啡館——「Luna」。15Please respect copyright.PENANAXGqDlbnS6e
15Please respect copyright.PENANA7qkAfRkZEZ
木製的小招牌掛在門口,玻璃窗上透出溫暖的燈光,裡面只有幾位客人坐在角落,看書、喝咖啡。15Please respect copyright.PENANAmNdA3YYwqi
15Please respect copyright.PENANA1K0c5DnAvg
許墨站在門口,靜靜地看著。15Please respect copyright.PENANAbK0KYZFiSI
15Please respect copyright.PENANAKqrJdV8kKA
然後,他看見了她。15Please respect copyright.PENANAOIYnMAtPj7
15Please respect copyright.PENANAdIuPQlecJ2
微瀾穿著米色的毛衣,站在櫃檯後面,熟練地為客人沖泡咖啡。她的長髮輕輕垂落,眼神溫柔,臉上帶著淡淡的笑意。15Please respect copyright.PENANAxU7jfBsdds
15Please respect copyright.PENANAZW929T54Ah
她看起來,與他記憶中的微瀾一模一樣,卻又……完全不同。15Please respect copyright.PENANAO0VSsJoCjZ
15Please respect copyright.PENANAHZaDtGAQDL
他沒有立刻走進去。15Please respect copyright.PENANA32pt1Kexit
15Please respect copyright.PENANAnZoFzPw0MI
只是站在街角,看了很久。15Please respect copyright.PENANAzV3v3NirIx
15Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wm1CMZ06P
那一天,許墨沒有進去找她。15Please respect copyright.PENANAAnuzkR211V
15Please respect copyright.PENANAfBd2cRJtPV
他第一次,對於「見到她」這件事,產生了猶豫。15Please respect copyright.PENANAxe33Of6gE6
15Please respect copyright.PENANAhA8jOWMjvA
——因為她的笑容,沒有他的影子。15Please respect copyright.PENANAPxafacOzaY
下個月,許墨再次造訪安布羅斯鎮。15Please respect copyright.PENANAwxQ0QGbz7q
15Please respect copyright.PENANANK5b1ERzyA
他花了幾天,確認著微瀾的日常。15Please respect copyright.PENANAb2Og9G72K0
15Please respect copyright.PENANATeoNX2XEsM
每天早晨去圖書館,午後在咖啡館工作,晚上回家。15Please respect copyright.PENANARa1ENsvfR6
15Please respect copyright.PENANAs6ynhpsAaQ
他觀察著。15Please respect copyright.PENANA7tXzOcLkfR
15Please respect copyright.PENANA6z4JylDSdd
她仍然習慣用左手托著書頁,右手轉著咖啡匙。15Please respect copyright.PENANAsyFtxEsjlG
15Please respect copyright.PENANACFqICKHjKd
她偶爾會在發呆時輕輕摩擦無名指的位置,像是在習慣性地碰觸某個曾經存在的指環……15Please respect copyright.PENANAOZj6U5XShR
15Please respect copyright.PENANAaMkJkOcap9
她好像…挺好的?他也不確定……畢竟他只是遠遠的看著她。15Please respect copyright.PENANAiIChK6XlT2
15Please respect copyright.PENANAT3xew2qqLk
重點是,這樣的微瀾……真的需要他嗎?15Please respect copyright.PENANACoVnIO9Cmj
15Please respect copyright.PENANAKExqtFDcEw
或者,她其實早已學會了不需要他。15Please respect copyright.PENANAKP2B037k4R
15Please respect copyright.PENANAlr9ubeQ9DZ
許墨站在遠處,手指輕輕收緊,眼神深邃而複雜。15Please respect copyright.PENANAUBo2tJvcW8
15Please respect copyright.PENANAceALlEKevf
他第一次,感受到某種從未體驗過的情緒——15Please respect copyright.PENANA3edMSB7xKH
15Please respect copyright.PENANAgiAJjtCuec
他輸給了時間。15Please respect copyright.PENANA6IyRNpdSc1
