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。
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf3ZbDIFVu
然後，她將帶來的兩桶海水安置在一旁，像守護之物般放好。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b6Hs5pkvy
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2F6EcJ1Pt
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZk0HfSKDN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm7YSDEzQd
他看著她。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcihLZY844h
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XGqXaB5Ng
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2rsrNkjMN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOatzOySbZz
那是他今夜第一次露出笑意。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y4EtoiC0K
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo1OS2FUU8
「……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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNgztNiRGg
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNnpJ5QISh
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHbMSJggz6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsdY7D1y5m
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcN0qJvEYr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBybCLWS6UA
他靜靜望著她。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka2HqHCUsI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cps4ACGWF
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGXXDpJUsV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqMrKMjnH9
他忽然想伸手去撥開那縷髮絲——卻在半途停下。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoazN13AoF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhN5za7s0Q
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81yEbDlQrN
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8J8cirEB1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHkktlorUG
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6mPs0aDVE
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RAbhV5TfP
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpn1TOqzRH
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Xot1S56D
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJgfPgF4gY
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxfzI0Ggxf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQjiOoxaNb
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vPKRQ9G9Z
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IqXQPT69g
果然不一樣。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchm5V1rkr3
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd1rWhmCCA
那溫度——很溫，很溫暖。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvgiNUlMHO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJpyP56I7C
是海面上的陽光。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vCOUCRTIf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJJtEk40sz
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPQz6FmZhv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWbOVyYAfL
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tqzZJk0wl
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAO3WtOkqu
不知何時，他也閉上了眼。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1GOzM6fYo
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqgNKNFjIu
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbJvf4rYfm
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnBTAuovBh
也是他第一次，夢見有人在岸邊等他。
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUolZqXBff
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22A0siogoT
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBUBfVf476
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yZCpG3cTf
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4L7YPQuhL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRNv3MBYWx
那是一隻人魚。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPohHri3iW
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJJJxnHxfv
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——349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfD6jQo8oZ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hrls1Wp6Q
啪嗒。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjVs02hcb4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UKB0YzqBg
她睜開眼。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrACdwXJsj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5o3tPlDIP
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUCQxSTOYa
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFC1Aw6LRh
她猛然坐起身，視線掃向那個角落。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKFG0gaHOQ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqAirybQVR
……只剩下空空的浴巾。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD8F83k23d
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9GhZVTy4X
她的心猛地一沉。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBJpVrJdH4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfO7Qhh96x
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcvZZd073x
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwmBzZ7X0c
她衝到山洞口，赤腳踩在砂礫上，一路奔向沙灘。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvACu5S1MvL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgO09GLCPb
但哪裡還有魚影？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpVM4YarOi
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpueUEPO7C
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjtvSnbBgo
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQkmsKSKHK
他走了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmAvBMpiDg
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy04sS3uec
露蕾雅站在那裡，風吹亂她的頭髮，她卻一動也不動。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdeiNvXRAb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDxgYCkdNW
他什麼都沒留下。沒有一句話，沒有一聲道別。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiVrzEb3TH
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBMrknhG2q
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEElfnYlz8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAebZCikgaQ
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：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAqVBsr6mL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu6WAsNj9d
「嗯……能平安回家就好。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcyU9qBVNr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39RmgaC9r2
語聲輕得像風一樣，她跪下，雙手合十，閉上眼睛。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6pvsE6bBK
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AMsg4tnAN
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0tCFQkWWz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AECJbCy6b
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kZT28CBVf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWImTpRXkI
風沒有回答，海浪也沒有。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnznUmTXpcy
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam5RDDv3fL
但她知道，他真的存在過。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2C38jxAHK
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5pP6zIVOA
不是夢，也不是幻覺。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99MyRbi4k6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNDaom0mzU
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl147evMExI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK9QjgbGUI
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4acQir2yvm
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XPJPO8tzG
而她，也不再只是個教會裡的女孩。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cTBQmOLqS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4RsZ4J4As
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7XhGE6Y8t
