「小露——」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBOcl1YwvZ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6I1ww79bJ
一聲輕喚打斷了她的思緒。露蕾雅與鈴蘭同時回頭，是歐班恩。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCFaI3wA8
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9e6fmSheB
「對不起，我能和露蕾雅說幾句話嗎？」他神情略顯緊張。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3iCEbV9pl
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NKpfErgrW
「請吧。」鈴蘭微微一笑，體貼地讓出位置，走到一旁去陪孩子們。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub4dSErEde
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TGRC93rnO
事實上，就在剛才，伊利亞悄悄地把歐班恩拉到一旁，難掩興奮地告訴他——露蕾雅已經「開竅」了。她聽到他可能留在教會長期服事時，眼神亮得不得了。伊利亞甚至推了他一把：「快去吧，現在不說，更待何時？」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0miUdc9i3s
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMshcLHvpVY
於是，他握著一支仙女棒，鼓起全部勇氣走到她身邊。耳朵已染紅，聲音努力裝作隨意。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLmKYj7ly2
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mkQyHCXvE
「要不要……也來玩一支？」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKiznqrOiE
「好呀……」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhfmQlmffp
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMtn3n2g3y
火星啪地竄起，仙女棒在黑夜裡綻開一束細碎的光。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zTocM9CgF
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFb1wtA2o
「哇……好懷念這個。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QU0GY18t6
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxGoxh4ydZ
歐班恩看著她，神情忽然嚴肅起來。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvuBT6zok2
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT4cF50H7d
「露蕾雅，」他深吸一口氣，「我……其實已經跟家裡談過了。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiDQubhRBu
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tgPNSYwRs
她愣愣轉頭，望著他。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YLsOLffT5
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm97PWHR1T7
「這三年來，我偷偷修完了神學課程。下個月……我打算一起去澪灣村，和妳一同服事那些孩子。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgz60x54T7
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ej5M9sNU
火花劈啪綻落，於兩人之間閃爍。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HstpY7kJZ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NFPwyyyey
「我想……和妳一起分擔。墨牧已經答應了，我會每天在村裡義診。牧師還要募款建診所，我也會幫忙，親自設計、親自建起來。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5uyhg0NIU
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTNi4tle0J
他停頓片刻，再度抬眸，目光清澈卻小心翼翼。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXyqYjgwlz
「小露，我……喜歡妳。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbDlZJLXTK
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKv6S1eaU2
喉結上下滾動，聲音顫抖卻堅定。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCknpRR69IY
「所以我想先，走進妳的世界。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuCTlVaQ6h
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwWKK1lNfg
「歐、歐班恩……你……」露蕾雅語塞，她慌亂地轉頭望向大海，聲音顫抖：「但、但是我……其實，並沒有——」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtacSfEG1aJ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH7B3Na9Dg
歐班恩聽見「沒有」兩字，心口一緊，卻立刻穩住聲音。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTFCCXIV2l
「我知道，妳還沒準備好去談感情。我知道，妳的心都在教會的孩子身上。這不是要妳馬上和我交往。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9NKEZL4Xf
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6dLXkKONn
他沒有停下，聲音低沉卻真切：「這三年來，我一直看著妳。妳的堅定，妳對上帝的信心，還有妳溫柔地陪伴孩子們……都讓我深深感動。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9PzlNfsG8
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxMSm0xDLG
「我不是來追人的。我是想……和妳一起，回應上帝的呼召。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoAcZ90GO6
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidXLqF7TDw
「我想成為妳的支柱，妳的夥伴。在妳身心俱疲的夜晚……讓妳能安心，好好睡一覺。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtETaOuope
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNszk7UbWZ
露蕾雅愣在原地。「好好睡一覺」那句話太溫柔了，胸口一熱，一份踏實感直直湧上來，眼眶微微發酸。下一秒，她情不自禁地伸手抱住了他。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U4JX45Jh4
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKXBnkOM8i
不是答應，也不是拒絕。只是——情緒太滿，溢出成動作。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BNoEJRvh1
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrnLaneq2E
額頭抵著他的肩膀，她聲音細細地說：「歐班恩，你怎麼這麼好。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD6L4EBjxV
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU4JCI7RuQ
沒有更多。沒有「我也喜歡你」。沒有「我也想和你一起努力」。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbGYQ0tO6b
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv2PRYJiTO
歐班恩怔了一下，隨即輕輕回抱。力道不重，卻安穩。他心裡有甜，有酸。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQSdGK7lb4
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONOrPJH8Ov
他知道，這個擁抱，不是愛情的承諾，但已經是一個開始。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0v9jgd5p8
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuvLgaB0tP
「愛麗絲掉進海了！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZnLizEwMW
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouUp04uMDn
「怎麼辦？怎麼辦——！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjznqrUNBmZ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb6yhaaqVC
忽然間，孩子們驚慌的大喊，像利箭刺破了夜的寧靜，也刺進了露蕾雅的心。她沒有絲毫猶豫，立刻放開懷中的歐班恩，身體本能地朝孩子們奔去。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdexx6cHeTb
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCznMULTQhS
「從哪裡掉下去的？」她邊跑邊問。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnuJy3xvRx
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREUZ2i3yqF
一個小男孩哭喪著臉，眼淚鼻涕混在一起，指著護欄邊緣：「這裡這裡！剛剛玩仙女棒的時候……他們在搶，我……我不小心撞到她……」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4zCiQHp5O
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnprzYbYzml
話還沒說完，只聽「咻——」的一聲。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXiQBvkTFm
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZGkOIQ7WE
露蕾雅已經跳下去了。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiG1SPCbl0
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA53A9QGX0W
裙擺像羽翼劃破空氣，她的身影瞬間沒入黑沉沉的大海中，決絕、無畏。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkUZCuPml7
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6HeDvJXmb
仙女棒的火星還在空中閃爍。孩子的哭聲、海水的濺濕聲、成人們驚慌的腳步聲，在夜色中交錯成一場驟然的騷動。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNstIdUYu8
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ487xB1Ebk
而歐班恩，站在原地，心猛然一緊——248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI2oVAqFVa
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD3qwGYD96
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPojL8c63f
下秒，他大聲指揮：「趕快準備救生圈！！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9fvOx4LRP
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60tsytQKJB
夜風騷動，人群驚亂。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWbNLCNSOf
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPGXGnaPcA
露蕾雅在冰冷的海水中奮力游動，終於在漆黑之中摸到了愛麗絲瘦小的身軀。她緊緊抱住她，把她托向海面，奮力游向船邊。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8xjuMMvzE
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ8dbT2PaH
她浮上海面時氣喘吁吁，卻沒有絲毫猶豫。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DPoKBU3U6
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ7xwqKVwe
船邊，歐班恩已經準備好救生圈與接應人手。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN85dUn3SVV
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5PTNzQggp
露蕾雅咬牙撐著濕冷的海水，把愛麗絲往上托去，雙臂發抖，但聲音依然清晰：「她沒有呼吸了，要馬上 CPR，還要叫救護車——」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ360DEumKq1
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVzK1AF6fl
船上的人立刻接過愛麗絲，放上甲板。歐班恩撲身上前，正準備開始急救，卻在抬頭的一瞬間，看見露蕾雅還留在海裡。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64zzQaINde
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjps35mKzTZ
「小露，你——」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1njDuaov3
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXNm2rhyd8
「我不急，我水性很好！救人要緊！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y44ugbILg
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVhBfKQTV1
他朝她用力點了一下頭，隨即與旁邊的成人迅速交接位置，一起開始進行心肺復甦。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWxhZV3gNj
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs8YTNu2QE
她沒有再說什麼，就將身子往後一沉，繼續在水面停留，目光緊緊追著被拉回船上的愛麗絲。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr5wdMbLgp
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM6pOdHuhE
而這時——248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG2tFSToi1
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrqDaVpQab
在所有人專注搶救的那一刻——一隻濕冷、帶著異樣力量的手，悄然從水下伸出來，抓住了露蕾雅的腳踝。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ3wXmSth4
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dRCgJjrFM
「唰——！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DykykWWcI
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4go3iWH6g
她來不及發出聲音，整個人被猛然拖進黑暗的海底。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHNl9rCPPU
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiBu3FfhKj
水面驟然平靜，只留下遠方仍在焦急呼喊的孩子與人群的騷動。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBKNA06Atu
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJLeK3v5aw
沒有人看見。沒有人發現。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvxZTrxtXi
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQswhm8ndH9
露蕾雅，被拖走了。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmSqHmlPWo
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3WSoQiYNS
她在黑暗的大海中掙扎，心跳狂亂，呼吸早已失控。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqvcAS4KFr
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUM5GOb4KS
冰冷的水壓一層一層包裹住她的身體。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbbQOODOCn
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2FbFAJdSF
她努力睜眼，藉著海面僅剩的一絲月光，看見了——是一個女人魚。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUIqQ3MVTn
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn7bwmgKRs
她拖著露蕾雅，毫不留情地往海底深處沉去。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rzTpzNFGp
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6HBma5z5y
露蕾雅拼命掙扎，雙手亂抓，腳不停踢動。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdCbXa6EKC
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2r4BxpTHx
但這裡是大海，是人魚的領域。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cXIyhT1NQ
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBTKmyhnTr
她水性再好，也掙脫不了一個一心想讓她死的女人魚。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGLIN2ndZH
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG9zNFOBBZ
四周的水變得更黑、更冷，壓力像數千條鎖鏈纏在她身上。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDbbW7lGvq
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXc51cOfu0
她開始感到力氣被抽空，手腳逐漸麻木。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLuiuUFZTj
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwEzl2Z8q3
她的眼皮愈來愈沉，意識像沙一般從指縫流走——就在她快要閉上眼的那一瞬，那女人魚停了下來。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO8gMzHjo7
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MCuC9XeDo
她轉過臉來，在水中勾起一抹斜魅的笑，眼神中透出勝利與殘酷。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7FJMAZNzI
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQfLP7xlfC
修長的手指朝露蕾雅的臉伸來，輕輕撫過她的耳垂。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpHTJsMHOu
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0kmD1HSed
那是——克拉維爾送給她的耳環。248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H8695PqYB
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZC0hS08N6
「活該。敢近我王子身旁，自取其禍！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYrY2O4431
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpwlbX4IQ9
「便在此海中——慢慢斷氣罷。」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoYHajX9in
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1HwdNpDtZ
「此物……自當改由我收！」248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT0GOEQB6k
露蕾雅的意識，開始在黑暗中模糊、漂浮，身體慢慢失去知覺……248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPvxQPkyoj
