露蕾雅把人魚緩緩裹進浴巾中，那是她特意用海水打濕過的，溫度略帶涼意，卻讓他全身如釋重負地放鬆下來。她小心翼翼將布料繞過他受傷的尾部與上半身，指尖不經意滑過他濕潤的鱗片。那一瞬，他感覺到一種陌生的悸動——心口被電流輕觸。

然後，她將帶來的兩桶海水安置在一旁，像守護之物般放好。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL31aa5kzem
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG9DnB9RTq
「今晚我在這裡守著你，」她輕聲說，語氣既篤定又溫柔，「你可以安心睡覺。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsJU6kQmFr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaGfCxb8WS
他看著她。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvn5h4iSzK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qdjM6XkTG
她的笑容簡單、真誠、不帶目的。他有點訝異，喉嚨像被什麼堵住似的，遲了一拍才微微笑了笑。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb9C4V7ioj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriy4Nvw87r
那是他今夜第一次露出笑意。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU58T8cr4b
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhFfTXpmZV
「……謝謝。」他的聲音依舊沙啞，卻多了一絲連他自己都沒察覺的溫度。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3YutunAW2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5dbbSNRrb
露蕾雅點點頭，將一張簡易的毯子拉到身邊，靠在不甚平坦的岩石上。今日的疲憊已將她完全吞沒，從早晨海中發現這隻受傷的人魚，到照顧完孩子們，又來來回回在沙灘和教會之間提水、取食物、找毯子……她身體早就透支了。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcnCcLMrqZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlHMlppE44
雖然山洞裡沒有床，只有粗糙的石地與鹹鹹濕濕的氣味，但她一靠下，還沒來得及多想，眼皮便緩緩闔上。手臂抱著毯子，呼吸漸漸放慢，沉沉睡去。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArtKFQt85Z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsggPxQ6qQh
他靜靜望著她。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJtyyGdsLb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHArieuVljd
襯衫與褲子上仍沾著細沙，髮絲帶著濕氣，貼在臉側。她的呼吸平穩，胸口隨之微微起伏。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTxRsgecDv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOmg8DZBne
他忽然想伸手去撥開那縷髮絲——卻在半途停下。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHamy7l0ud
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFA813ZCgD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5oBOfxnFY
明明那頭秀髮早已凌亂、不再柔順，還夾著沙粒，他卻像在凝視一件精緻的藝術品。在海底，他見過無數的女性人魚，她們的髮色在水光裡閃爍，綠的、銀的、紫的，如潮流般飄動。那時，他從未覺得哪一位特別。然而此刻，他卻發現自己的目光，怎麼也離不開這位人類女孩。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Hg7ngZ6U
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHICZyNpe10
她的睫毛隨著呼吸輕顫，唇形柔和、帶著微微的弧度。那雙唇失了血色，像被海風吹乾的花瓣，帶著一點乾裂的痕跡，卻仍透出細微的粉色。他忽然覺得，那樣的脆弱與疲憊，不僅沒有損去她的美，反而讓她顯得格外真實，如同一朵在暴風後仍努力綻放的小花。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxz0pOltCF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10aj0W07tg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBDcQ5nanQ
他忽然有些恍惚。從未想過，第一次在陸地上閉上眼的夜晚，不是被獵捕、不是被囚籠、不是拼命逃亡，而是有人這樣溫柔地對待他，甚至甘願陪伴。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi6uLRqpB5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTp23a7xQv
他停在半空中的手微微顫抖。下一刻，指尖輕輕碰上她的髮絲。那動作幾乎像一場禁忌，喉結隨著緊張而上下滾動。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3sGHXFfen
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xsxl38BoV
女孩依舊睡得安穩。他伸出的手再度向前，僅僅一寸的距離，終於觸到她額頭的肌膚。那一瞬間，他的心猛地一緊。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IvsoeW6W7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUAilxAeFE
果然不一樣。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Iu2rLDIB9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8yGbr6tDJ
那溫度——很溫，很溫暖。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnHO7m5IVG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgcGooJlkG
是海面上的陽光。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi1tq7b1L5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksshjHdV7X
女孩皺了皺眉，嘴角微微上揚，哼出一聲氣音，她緊了緊懷裡的毛毯，輕輕轉過身去。他早在她皺眉的那一刻便迅速收手後退，心臟幾乎要停止跳動。直到聽見她平穩的呼吸聲，他才緩緩吐出一口氣，讓緊繃的肌肉與神經一點一點鬆開。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ApLvJ2Nh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRh5a4xjnU
他不敢靠得太近，只是微微側過臉，聽著她的呼吸聲。節奏輕柔而穩定，引導著他一同入眠。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUSl9CNn14
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn3WOQFrlw
不知何時，他也閉上了眼。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIBhac2MHv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVrVJVZCnQ
那一夜，山洞中沒有風，只有月光安靜灑落，像父神溫柔的羽毛，悄悄為兩個世界的人築了一座透明的庇護所。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUHfwj1WyG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzdiuvkFDz
也是他第一次，夢見有人在岸邊等他。
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP3jtLWlDW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLCUk54ATB
露蕾雅夢見自己落入了海中。冰冷的海水無止盡地灌進肺裡，她在水中拼命掙扎、撥水、伸手，卻怎麼也觸不到海面。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ntjbIbtX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeW0zuZk6G
她開始下沉，身體越來越沉重，四周只剩下窒息與無聲的藍。就在她即將放棄時，一抹光從遠方游來。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTretl3T4K
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCauzm3aFma
那是一隻人魚。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmQH8RPlgi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxkaU0O2t3
他有著黑色的髮絲，在水中如夜色散開；銀紫色的瞳孔閃耀著異樣的光輝。他朝她游來，臉龐近得幾乎可以碰到，俊美得像是來自神話，卻在她即將開口那一瞬間——372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLkruOU2Vq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS0Pf4RQvn
啪嗒。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlApfPWTEW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrhGfhjmIJ
她睜開眼。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZStv9kwOS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC29M0tjYE
山洞還在，潮聲依舊。露蕾雅費了一秒才從夢境回過神，轉頭的第一個念頭，就是——他還在不在？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5RhfSBYZh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5BmGBCcDL
她猛然坐起身，視線掃向那個角落。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxLlyOYm20
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz9RSPTvR1
……只剩下空空的浴巾。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WOoSvEzD1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sMNRKkacO
她的心猛地一沉。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonT86Ko4M3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mqot3TVSP
原本包裹著人魚的那條浴巾軟軟地塌著，早已失去了溫度。食物沒動，藥丸沒動，但水桶裡的海水，全都倒出來了。四周石地濕漉漉的，像是有人曾掙扎，或——迅速離開。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZmNUiZWZb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S8uOfsHIw
她衝到山洞口，赤腳踩在砂礫上，一路奔向沙灘。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslnovvrl28
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9VsCMKplo
但哪裡還有魚影？372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTzewWWfac
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J5mzDzdov
眼前只有海鷗的鳴聲在空中盤旋，浪濤一如往常地拍打著岸邊，像什麼也沒發生過。天空染著淡藍色的晨光，平靜得近乎無情。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMzKzMidlV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sXpo0Mh7i
他走了。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rs5hdPX8a
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrtu4QpGzU
露蕾雅站在那裡，風吹亂她的頭髮，她卻一動也不動。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hN3YwIyID
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszHlyVhT2W
他什麼都沒留下。沒有一句話，沒有一聲道別。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JIC3oYv5a
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRU3ZLL48I
只留下了昨晚那一瞬間的微笑，還有，在夢中朝她游來的銀紫色身影。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFHbnFGuqA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBmqCSJixH
她低下頭，望著腳邊的積水，彷彿那裡還殘留著他的氣息。然後她喃喃說了一句：372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0it1MjlK2z
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2FLNdnkOS
「嗯……能平安回家就好。」372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz8ZTs0tIi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNrUa0i3t4
語聲輕得像風一樣，她跪下，雙手合十，閉上眼睛。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQYfNnbaz1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TWiUVwO0Z
在晨光與海浪之間，她做了一個簡單的禱告，沒有求什麼，只是將那個他交託給父神的手中。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshMfVzABiD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CfmIqGq4L
然後，她起身，拍了拍裙擺上的沙粒，輕輕轉身，朝著教會的方向走去。背影不急不緩，像每個早晨她從海灘返回那樣平靜。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QVc2QMdLB
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrRkDMTKDh
風沒有回答，海浪也沒有。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPmZ5HjMy7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmip07Cz33X
但她知道，他真的存在過。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPC7QjEiW8
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0aIc0zFNk
不是夢，也不是幻覺。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONOBVPCe9t
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeyYvB86pJ
她親手為他擦過臉，看過他臉紅的模樣，看見他努力壓下笑意的嘴角。那不是想像。那是真實的溫度、真實的觸感、真實的心跳。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12UWDGN7HN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBmf3vA930
那一夜，他不再是被獵人的箭矢追趕的獵物，而是需要被守護的生命。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh1Ulg7K1g
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgZ8bMJbmn
而她，也不再只是個教會裡的女孩。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsDJucgqde
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMy5dcBNAN
而是那片海灘、那座山洞裡，一隻迷路人魚曾經安心睡著的——唯一港灣。372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUPIhEPSv7
