喬凡娜為店主沖了杯濃縮咖啡，兩人各自在營業處的角落，將咖啡一飲而盡。下過雨後的廣場只有稀疏的遊客，以及一位老面孔。年輕的藝術家正對著青銅鑄紀念碑架起畫架。幾個月來他畫了無數遍的紀念碑，偶爾面對大海、偶爾面對廣場，但多數時候他總是偏好紀念碑。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Abi4JyGQj

喬凡娜從身後書架上拿起一本書來閱讀，今天的旅客特別稀少。她想念羅莎—不久前被店主送給一位美國的年輕太太的大花貓。羅莎相當親人，每個在這旅館工作的員工都喜歡她。喬凡娜心不在焉地翻著書，她一向不喜歡讀書，但在旅遊淡季的旅館真的沒什麼事情可做。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J4aT4EhH3

「你怎麼不去跟他聊聊天？」喬凡娜嚇了一跳，險些將手上的書扯壞。店主坐在寫字檯後一臉和善。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwG4jiF00H

「什麼？」喬凡娜慌張地將書面撫平。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT4LttCDve

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SIfOdwLBI

「你老在遠方盯著他看，他不會認識妳的。」店主低頭翻了翻記帳簿，繼續忙著算錢。報稅的日子快到了。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOHI4pzbpc

喬凡娜感到全身發燙，將已經沒有興趣的書放回書架。她走出昏暗的辦公室，站在店門口，透過玻璃窗看著那位藝術家。她推開門，走上石子道路。旅館對面咖啡館隔壁的門口旁擺著一張木頭桌子，那本來是咖啡館老闆娘用來在上面擺放些自製的手工藝品的，但老闆娘老了，雙手沒那麼靈活了，便不再做些新奇的玩意，舊的作品也被收進自家去，現在那張桌子就這麼空著在那。偶爾有些小動物會在底下躲個雨，除此之外這個桌子別無他用。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jjc8vN6Gf

現在那張桌子上蹲著一隻貓，是隻豐腴的賓士貓。他趴下，翻身，放鬆的拉長身子，享受點日光浴，讓陽光將他淋濕的毛曬乾。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21SayJUUYT

喬凡娜走向廣場上的男子，他正在整理畫具。他用紙膠帶將畫紙橫著貼好，逐一打開水彩用具以及一盆水，髒抹布掛在畫架下方。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpcXhYl91O

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaaHwY0UD0

男子用大刷子爽快地在畫紙上大面積抹上水，鋪上紫色與黃色作為底色渲染。待畫紙稍乾後，輕快的點綴上些海與樹的顏色。男子勤奮地幹活，喬凡娜著迷地看著男子。她不是很懂藝術，在她眼裡，男子像是隨意地胡亂撒顏料，可卻撒出了一張美景。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05nMmqzKbA

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQneN25KhJ0
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjx8c7R9qz

「紀念碑才不是這種顏色。」喬凡娜開口，男子正好將紀念碑的位子畫上了紅色。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYv1sXhtfg

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymK0UmSRXr
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5IMZJY4I6

「今天的他就是這種顏色。」男子頭也不抬，自顧自將紀念碑染上更多奇怪的顏色。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK08QmRxK6J

「藝術家都是神經病，明明就是黑色的東西硬要說成紅的。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncwRSzZW9j

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hhs3lWdYD
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRxzIMOvxl

「他才不是黑色，你看仔細了，他明明發著綠色的光。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ow0Tm1jbM

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREL173jf6q
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ525cUz78GE

「可是你剛剛說他是紅色。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOLtaBGv8W

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr59ZEERDNx
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbIKHAOffP

「因為他就是紅色。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSInpaqS24X

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjv2Avk4qt
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZjsO837Zf

喬凡娜搖搖頭，她很不能理解，她覺得他是神經病，但又好喜歡他的畫。在咖啡館旁的巷子過去三個街區再左轉的路邊有一個位子，男子會開著改裝過的麵包車在那邊擺著自己的畫。喬凡娜會趁下班時間繞過去，在麵包車對街的小餐館，點杯咖啡，坐在靠窗可以看見男子，但男子看不見她的位子。偶爾會有一兩個路人向他買畫。喬凡娜不覺得那些客人真的欣賞他的畫。在這裡最有名的就是這個紀念碑，旅客買畫只是因為紀念碑，並不是真的喜歡這幅畫。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChgho6wmLu

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkqC0vWzsw
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aos4RBCSK

於是男子畫了很多不一樣的紀念碑，有紀念碑的畫總是很快就能被旅客買去。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQqY32Rot9

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhUDLskWn4
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7tb7Ub9pU

以前男子的畫比較有趣，有各種貓和不同的風景，有時還會有很奇怪的圖，喬凡娜看不懂，但卻總覺得男子的畫有一種吸引力，像是要把觀賞的人吸進一個虛構的世界。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ppD6nMxcz

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucDlpsDZLJ
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIPKIdlzwe

「你就不能畫些其他的東西嗎？」喬凡娜問，男子不發一語。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXW6v0Fwnx

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BXDPH6Zgc
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvfpldnR45

喬凡娜感覺到腳邊一陣搔癢，低頭一瞧，那隻黑色賓士貓身子蹭著喬凡娜。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotqDUMz8cg

「傑米本來不喜歡陌生人的。」男子撇了一眼賓士貓，牠走到男子旁邊坐下。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPefioebKzw

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVWXr7RT7r

「你要吃點小魚乾嗎？」喬凡娜蹲下來摸摸貓，貓發出滿足的呼嚕聲。她走回旅館，從冰箱裡拿出沒吃完的午餐盒，裡頭有她吃一半的魚。她拎著魚走回廣場，將魚丟給貓，貓對著魚又聞又抓，忙了半晌才將那條魚吃掉。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc3AED5gKW

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn4HW0wZKm
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcHntoNLm9

喬凡娜抬頭，男子畫紙上的紀念碑不見了，正確來說，男子換了張圖紙。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrVo9qmrEN

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTfmYkvj70
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uhh6rWhtT

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ZGdzBy8e
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw6EXplucb

「你在這裡，我沒辦法專心畫紀念碑。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVLtG1G7dT

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4jratkCm3
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldU7qQyIp4

「真是抱歉。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvfNZXeiz9

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExStMp5x2U
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQfBUdCu0w

喬凡娜不發一語，男子看著空白圖紙，卻又將圖紙收了起來。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3miLoQKT8D

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFATEIHfQx
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0KLqHEZgV

「你要走了？」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR7ci0jOhk

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs9CM1XtB9
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDmtG4ao6Y

「我說過，你在這裡我沒辦法專心畫。」男子把盆子裡的髒水隨手倒掉，把所有的畫具收起來。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ43HL8yKQ

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES6r7RUWBl
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQisa7PmIK

「好吧，我可以離開，你可以繼續畫。」喬凡娜起身走回旅館。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuRmWEL8n8

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSMss1H3K5
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgHf82IE2D

「你要走了？」男子問。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e9NLay1n1

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Q5V0p8sM
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5UZLcD4Do

「你不是說我讓你不能專心畫？我走，你繼續畫。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHPL6dgDuR

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPJU6YUf6d
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWXnFKtaoh

「我沒有特別的意思。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQTN5jXH2H

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6G2qpeJOa
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ0CyuO0Xv

喬凡娜停下腳步，回頭與男子對上眼。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8KRY6J8r7

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgEl4hzoMp
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKZuCp2TzC

「不是要回去了？」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VlFBEEwzU

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsBlRzAl5d
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19YfnUkkRk

「是你叫住我的。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpmDZA9jVu

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSPKR26w3p
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VBY7ViXc4

「我哪有，是你自己停下腳步的。」男子對著喬凡娜咧齒而笑，喬凡娜瞇起雙眼，頭也不回的離開。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZux9ByODTf

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcPt9X6gJA
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEu3iwurlD

店主依然坐在寫字檯後，抬眼見喬凡娜回到旅館，說了聲下班，便回到他忙碌的工作上。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzsb2zgnxZ

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyDvorEe3N
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjosA6J2dee

喬凡娜換下制服，帶上自個的物品。今天她不想去那家小餐館，於是走到另一頭別家餐館，叫了份外帶沙拉。今天她只想早點回家。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6deIwUy9ei

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcOV2QDwjq
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJABc6jAZF

回家路上不可避免還是得經過男子的麵包車停放的那條路。喬凡娜躲在轉角處，考慮著要不繞個遠路，但卻發現今天男子不在那邊。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqGMJiFVPX

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3dyrxfBSE
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D7q0nnz6b

一陣低沈短促的喇叭聲，喬凡娜回頭看到男子開著麵包車，搖下車窗。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdcjTrJXRE

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5TrY7QDE7
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ykr43uVYY

「佇在著做什麼？」男子笑著。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dKVVmwzjR

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2pgl0PpzI
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYa4VENc8D

喬凡娜只是斜眼瞪著男子。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzXo2dtBLm

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRv30xRjOl
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarQKbwcg6l

「你今天比較晚。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4DarsUCRQ

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXroMPL9V1
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr20rvUVnu8

「對，因為我還是決定今天要把畫完成，所以搞得比較晚。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhpZ0y8uXK

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Z4U1eBqU
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyIxTsaFVu

「一定又是那該死的紀念碑。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsPBmBx5n7

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzRAtE8xJt
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmpbXScCMA

「紀念碑已經是固定的了，三兩下就完成的東西可不會害我搞到比較晚。反正路人也只是要紀念碑，簡單隨便畫畫就有了。別站在那，過來我讓你看看害我搞到那麼晚的東西。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLnE0Pmv39

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkIh21OcWg
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51dch84LMz

男子說著，把車開過轉角，喬凡娜跟在車子後頭。男子一如既往拿出了一堆不同顏色不同角度的紀念碑的畫，喬凡娜環抱著手看著他。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAdDeboYvR

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWGysH8l5b
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSq4MWglOW

「這些，是商品，是給笨蛋旅客的。」男子指著那堆畫「這才是要給你看的。」894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjhN4DuoFQ

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxOjzrWeXF
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVZjD84te9

男子拿出最後一幅畫，上面沒有笨蛋紀念碑，喬凡娜目瞪口呆地看著那幅畫。894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCCkuQ80c3

894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFsseQIVnO
894Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfwRR7v3o1

「喜歡嗎？」
