晚餐後，伊利亞與歐班恩準備離開。伊利亞捧著花，笑得燦爛：「好樣的！ 這花太適合媽媽了，小露真有眼光。」220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI779MgAJF5
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFBQ08NcgT
露蕾雅跟著笑起來，正要回答，卻忍不住瞄向歐班恩——220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXmXgHXLBR
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kFkMBuWZf
他袖子還微微捲著，手裡卻空空的。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zj5YhU8s5
那束下午他親自挑的花……不見了。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkdwCzo3e7
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsJHkKIKux
她眼睛一亮：哇喔喔！！歐哥真的送出去了！220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncOMOu8sCp
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRevkNdIrOe
她忍不住在心裡竊笑：明天一定要去找出是誰！嘿嘿嘿——220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ogP7eseqT
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI79sqKlUnD
她昂起下巴，故作鎮定，生怕藏不住嘴角那點得意。車燈遠去，夜色靜下來，蟲鳴與微風撫過她的髮絲，臉上還掛著調皮的笑。
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejUXWJjBIw
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cBuEONNzX
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEtG31s8yJ
她一個人輕快地走回自己的房間。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4btmyAslW
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiOVBZUpQE
她打開房門。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyjXfPkPms
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MJFNDYGqE
月光如水般灑落，一束花靜靜佇立在花瓶中，彷彿是被銀白輕輕吻過的祕密。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHaa5iZLql
百合優雅綻放，花瓣潔白如羽，像剛從晨露中甦醒；粉紅玫瑰含著微光，柔軟層疊，如少女靜靜的呢喃；而那幾朵罌粟，則是夜色中燃起的火，濃烈而孤傲，在靜謐中悄然跳動著一顆隱藏的心意。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCPbnkVKSf
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEgBVdmdtE
她猛地停住，睜大眼睛，雙手捂住嘴。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzugWxvc2f
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeWOLQyeUR
是那一束花。都是她最喜歡的花。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlHZMvi83u
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM2EVg5dNk
空氣安靜得只能聽見心跳。露蕾雅緩緩走到桌前。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsVo6VjB6h
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8RrfIzTd
光影斜斜灑落，照亮了那張被插在花瓶邊的小卡片。它靜靜地躺在那裡，是一張被光暈包圍著的告白。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmX6fIFcve
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9q0q5mfd5
她伸手，輕輕將卡片拿起來，指尖微微顫抖。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7FUsH5CVt
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeNO7zbDVw
小露，謝謝妳今天的陪伴。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCublQHhcBT
有些話今天沒說出口，220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOpGwKhmBt
希望這些花，能替我說一些。
——Oboen220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiUhQ9RAve
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB0gtAhlfu
所以——歐哥……真的對我……真的假的？220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCrvyh0bM1
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B01HDIKlF
她睜大眼睛，手裡還捏著那張卡片，腦袋像是突然卡住了，然後飛快地運轉起來。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKkLYsy3W5
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCr5Rc0J7o
下午逛街的時候，空氣才會那麼奇怪嗎？220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY5st33isp
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME79SnpFS7
明明只是一起選花、一起走路……但他的眼神，好像比平常更溫柔。他笑起來的時候，好像也多停留了一秒。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfeNckvsWR
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzf1K9xaSy
他是故意——靠得那麼近的嗎？220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz6ykYGX4x
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiN6sYePrp
她的心跳「咚」地一聲，像是突然被什麼敲了一下。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3vwIreTvC
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpluaF9pUAq
但是我，為什麼一點也不覺得開心？明明，這束花裡藏著的全都是我最喜歡的花。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8AihOWID4

今晚的週四的沙灘聚會比往常特別，為了慶祝教會成立二十週年，墨牧師與幾位志工在海灘上舉辦了烤肉活動。露蕾雅也帶著孩子們一同前來，在風與海浪聲中享受這片溫暖的歡笑。
他們約好舉行睡衣派對，連一向只穿牧師服的墨牧都破例換上了花俏的海島風睡衣，上頭印滿戴著墨鏡的太陽與椰子樹，看得孩子們笑彎了腰。牧師與幾位年長志工正圍坐在篝火旁，邊烤著食物，邊談論過往的教會事務與村裡的舊事。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqU1n63KZu
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLeCA1Y4fm
尼爾則搬來一把吉他，正跟著志工哥哥林岸練習和弦；而孩子們早已興奮地奔跑開來，仙女棒在他們手裡劃出一圈圈金黃的光跡，如流星般點亮黑夜，伴隨童音與笑語，一波波散落在浪濤間。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZBSr5Mjr7
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Up3lhBnt
頭頂的月亮又圓又亮，篝火與露營燈交映，把沙灘染上暖融融的金橘色。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXxZmxK3V6
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8jjB52Mpc
「記得喔，晚上不可以下水！」露蕾雅半蹲下來，輕聲卻認真地叮嚀幾個正想踩進浪花的孩子。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHNnLBtD4E
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2FVtFHFrC
「海水在晚上很危險，我要是找不到你們，就糟糕了。」220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oUMg8xC5m
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOY30sZIFo
這並不是孩子們第一次夜裡來沙灘玩耍，但她仍像往常一樣細心叮囑，因為這片海，從來不會完全馴服。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KfhquRPef
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pWHkmJIFf
正當孩子們人手一支仙女棒，玩著「一二三木頭人」的遊戲時，露蕾雅的餘光忽然捕捉到遠方礁石那頭，一道奇異的微光——那是她與克拉維爾曾經交換過「禮物」的山洞口，那個只有他們知道的地方。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qnqhteSpG
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrvp50q6NY
她心頭微震。難道，是他來了嗎？220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JEdFmeJK0
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIH7WAeL7C
她輕聲喚來姍姍──一個總是充滿責任感、十四歲的少女，平時也是教室裡的班長。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGdC0Ub41R
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHijYq9xSG
「姍姍，我去附近找個東西，很快就回來。妳幫我看好其他小朋友，好嗎？」220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFNKmgelrB
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlX5zXlHq4
姍姍乖巧地點點頭，沒多問什麼。她以為露蕾雅又要去找椰子，畢竟每次沙灘聚會，她總會現場敲幾顆椰子，讓大家喝得開心。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7VW7S3lku
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZOSNWE9W0
露蕾雅悄悄離開人群，沿著光的方向，獨自走到山洞前的沙灘。那道光如細絲般地游動著，引導她越過礁石，走向一處昏暗的海岩。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf1hp17tob
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqQa5VQ5FQ
月色輕灑下來，她屏住呼吸——那是一位人魚少女。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA9OhMHiuY
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxTlzw2BoS
銀白色的長髮沾著水珠，貼在雪白的肩膀，隨海風微微飄動。魚尾是湖綠到深藍的柔和漸層，鱗片在月光下閃爍著宛若水晶碎片般的光芒。她的肌膚白得幾近透明，卻映襯出唇色的深紅，像是剛從驟雨裡脫身，帶著一種脆弱卻致命的美。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYQ8bLsV7O
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmK8Gh4E3X
她抱著手臂，傷口緩緩流出淡色的鮮血，微微皺眉，靜靜凝視著露蕾雅。那眼神既像求助，又像觀察，安靜得讓人不敢移開視線。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5qKjunNG4
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdwGDcj9nY
露蕾雅愣了一下——那麼美、那麼詭異的存在，她本來應該要害怕才對。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc9020XiCV
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelwKQSgzQk
但奇怪的是，她心裡只有單純的擔心，沒有絲毫警覺。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mrhZPc0BR
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFZjCZNqsz
她不知道，這份不自然的「安心感」，正是因為上次她曾受過人魚的幻術。那段記憶像被海水沖淡，一點痕跡都沒有留下——她完全不記得，那夜引她入深海的，就是眼前這條人魚。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WF3SHGhAT
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNJXVzcxfe
「妳受傷了……」露蕾雅靠近了一些，語氣溫柔不帶懷疑。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZmgN0MQW1
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfVR40En63
女人魚沒有立刻說話，只輕輕點頭，低聲呢喃：「我……方才被礁石割傷。」220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbHV7SoHga
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDF5O6KPU1
露蕾雅從側背的布包中取出簡易急救用品，在礁岩上蹲下，熟練地幫她清理傷口。她的指尖動作細緻，溫柔得像是在對待一朵將碎的花。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdERRJErd3P
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFYVbJcPVC
那女人魚靜靜看著她，忽然開口道：「妳真奇怪。」220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhVu8a8SpY
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sl8cr4R66
「明明我是異類，妳卻沒有怕我。」220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0yjgzGZ5w
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4XzbhKMSI
「我怎麼會怕妳呢？妳很美，而且……只是需要幫助而已。」220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNGHKsGMTd
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIiH5FNi4z
她包紮完後，正準備起身離開。220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7rzPBEF1e
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJDvjTlpLi
人魚少女忽然柔聲開口，語氣帶著幾分撒嬌：「我想向妳道謝。妳願意讓我帶妳去一處地方嗎？」220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwg2Pj3HiY
