「許墨，你知道嗎？58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTL5KErLOb
人一旦開始懷念過去，就很容易誤以為自己還活在過去。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaGl0od1bb
第一站——薩頓（Sutton）58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ9EP7pyhs
時間：第三年初，1月58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOhDy3GpVU
天氣：冬季，大雪封山58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilI6B0xQ9V
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDsV7ZeAaK
飛機降落在蒙特婁機場時，城市仍籠罩在寒冷的冬霧中。許墨穿著深色長風衣，拎著行李走入機場外的計程車站。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ810gnpKstN
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJkI6uBP1o
「去哪？」計程車司機操著一口法語口音的英語問道。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrPa47EMi1
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUISqvTM42
「薩頓。」許墨簡短地回答，將視線投向窗外的城市景色。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4eY1pK1Gi
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtbLQPHudx
這座城鎮遠離繁華，靜謐而低調。白雪覆蓋了山坡，薩頓小鎮的街道上行人寥寥，木製的咖啡館與舊書店沿著主街一字排開。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT9url27BM
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gGv4ounPB
他依照蘇硯的行動模式，選擇這個地方作為第一站。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NLn2JxDcZ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRbwKHw2vM
在鎮上的一家小咖啡館，他點了一杯黑咖啡，隨意地打開筆電，觀察周遭的動靜。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl99r6MgGzl
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96qX6G23lf
「先生，您是第一次來這裡嗎？」店員熱情地與他攀談。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8stR4fwXF
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhVTD71xyy
「是。」許墨語氣溫和，指尖敲著咖啡杯沿，「這裡很安靜，很適合休息。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhssS81YxK
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0CYQ0CAIX
「是啊，我們這裡很多人來度假，還有些……來這裡散心的。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgpaDZB7zs
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZgfa8HgWl
這句話讓許墨的視線微微一動。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAUoUgbnYp
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciboSobAfi
他輕聲問：「來這裡散心的人，會長住嗎？」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKOgE1vDvJ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSWFd0Cqx5
店員笑了笑：「偶爾有，但大多待幾個月就走了，畢竟這裡冬天太冷，不適合長住。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yxMsdVn41
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EKLY59bG5
他在薩頓待了幾天，詢問了幾個店家，沒有任何關於微瀾的線索。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs7ee0Ch30
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3blzNVGey
「她沒有來過這裡。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQzr2hFcoA
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf5w32Oq0Y
這是許墨的結論。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGYxG8WFlO
第二站——維多利亞海濱（Victoria-by-the-Sea）58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE94SlO18I
時間：第三年初，3月58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7yH9Sp1nQ
天氣：春寒，海風仍然帶著涼意58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYcm2oGkDk
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSSy4DFPQi
維多利亞海濱位於愛德華王子島，與薩頓完全不同，這裡的風景充滿海洋氣息。許墨抵達時，海岸邊仍有些許殘雪，咖啡館與書店依舊營業，但遊客不多。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYtxPTxC62
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKgSo29eDv
這是一個比薩頓更適合隱居的地方。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PA9pR5J5m
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPSm7uWs86
他沿著海濱散步，進入鎮上的幾家店鋪，詢問是否有亞洲面孔的女性曾在這裡長住。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVijn8ZCTFt
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFvyyQwu0M
「亞洲女孩？」當地的一位旅店老闆聳聳肩，「這裡有，但大多是短暫停留的旅客。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6o0QEwXME
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfPNMEenVN
「她或許是個作家，或者……畫家。」許墨的語氣輕描淡寫，試圖引導對方提供更多訊息。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZYwf3qgSl
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReMoA1SaWB
老闆想了想，搖頭道：「這裡有幾位作家，但沒有你說的那種。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOLA5gktTz
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70xvhkllmP
他在這裡停留了一週，卻依舊沒有微瀾的痕跡。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIhp9aWwkw
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34K4jppGkA
第二次失敗，許墨卻沒有一絲焦躁。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBrtUSiCG9
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q9SV3lZPm
他知道，微瀾一定在某個地方，他只是還沒走到正確的路上。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllUINLMzUa
第三站——艾洛拉（Elora）58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYEJySKDi5
時間：第三年中，7月58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEVX0BGwZK
天氣：盛夏，綠意盎然的藝術小鎮58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmluX6sZOC
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtIQYFyEjq
艾洛拉以藝術家村聞名，擁有眾多手工藝店與咖啡館。這裡更符合微瀾的風格，她或許會選擇這樣的地方，尋找新的生活方式。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8cKkimm4K
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aYSt2mdYg
這一次，許墨在這裡住了半個月，走遍了鎮上的藝術市集，甚至參加了幾場畫展，但仍然沒有微瀾的身影。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjuQwbWs2z
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOihOhULSbf
他開始懷疑自己的方向是否正確。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyeoe1a6N9
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSeACKiEa0
然而，就在他準備離開時，他在一家小書店中，聽見了一個有趣的談話——58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkek3RGQdT
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz3ONZn6PI
「聽說安布羅斯鎮那邊有個小小的咖啡館，挺有意思的。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8rXZ044EQ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIZuHwm3YV
「安布羅斯鎮？」另一人疑惑，「沒聽過。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATpu9RSWRi
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEevgi0pVM
「超小的鎮，連地圖上都找不到，據說咖啡館裡有個亞洲女生……」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIUpZlbVpY
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqtroxEsgU
許墨站在書架前，手指微微一頓。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijvYV9WhaP
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNuraD0Mzu
——這個地方，他的名單上沒有。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByqEFCLnQc
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjHRQPbPCv
「安布羅斯鎮。」58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxSFIdtLLU
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PMVJHvveT
他，終於接近了。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsYkM1IrhC
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Syj4bDaBh
第四站——安布羅斯鎮（Ambrose）58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v3lL0TndZ
時間：三個月前，9月58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1gedivHUn
天氣：入秋，溫暖的微風58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOl6v1hdUE
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzqPuh7uLx
當許墨抵達這個幾乎無法在地圖上找到的小鎮時，他才真正理解這裡為何適合隱居。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG3rpDvlxA
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNCXrMbTIJ
寧靜、與世無爭，連鎮上最熱鬧的地方也只是幾家雜貨店與一家小型書店。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlxOgWInQ7
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw38wInBAY5
他站在鎮中心的廣場上，深深吸了一口氣。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRlCOiv0C2
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ioDtHCn5
這裡，幾乎沒有任何人注意到他的到來。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r4ZAHj9pW
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazwxEoarB2
他開始走訪鎮上的店家，最後，在鎮尾的街角，他看見了一家極為低調的咖啡館——「Luna」。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL42pfYlH95
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHKWsMyf1G
木製的小招牌掛在門口，玻璃窗上透出溫暖的燈光，裡面只有幾位客人坐在角落，看書、喝咖啡。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR1mOyrlmR
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP3gndVROd
許墨站在門口，靜靜地看著。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgit8924GpR
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8zX5GuMA8
然後，他看見了她。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz80iBsWVn
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ770uJLA2r0
微瀾穿著米色的毛衣，站在櫃檯後面，熟練地為客人沖泡咖啡。她的長髮輕輕垂落，眼神溫柔，臉上帶著淡淡的笑意。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMDFoSiP3n
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5301ULs8ad
她看起來，與他記憶中的微瀾一模一樣，卻又……完全不同。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8qhfWvWiq
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2DlrIrqNN
他沒有立刻走進去。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEnE3I8vH0
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibatTrjeYA
只是站在街角，看了很久。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG1zXBprsr
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydivAYLvDt
那一天，許墨沒有進去找她。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM7RdTtRua
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDzxS3r5VR
他第一次，對於「見到她」這件事，產生了猶豫。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt25gEpUbZc
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3smkUEy54N
——因為她的笑容，沒有他的影子。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ50ClshocU
下個月，許墨再次造訪安布羅斯鎮。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75iA5WWkG3
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG9DJcBycm
他花了幾天，確認著微瀾的日常。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkk8D5EI6x
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi4ensBV0Z
每天早晨去圖書館，午後在咖啡館工作，晚上回家。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzru7cvI1Wf
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGsQR1ZuLw
他觀察著。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSfrOrCx9Y
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwWHHJD1T9
她仍然習慣用左手托著書頁，右手轉著咖啡匙。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTifhdzczvl
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT04qi4o5tT
她偶爾會在發呆時輕輕摩擦無名指的位置，像是在習慣性地碰觸某個曾經存在的指環……58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtBY1Wl9wB
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskaS9S0ICH
她好像…挺好的？他也不確定……畢竟他只是遠遠的看著她。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t6OtGPO3S
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFbawiRHEY
重點是，這樣的微瀾……真的需要他嗎？58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoCOt9omo4
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwso3pC7g1
或者，她其實早已學會了不需要他。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrIQ7U9IYf
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrElEQrOKv
許墨站在遠處，手指輕輕收緊，眼神深邃而複雜。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACrCCTbxjc
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIufoyEN7n9
他第一次，感受到某種從未體驗過的情緒——58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdcci0T03G
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OF3pslNdJ
他輸給了時間。58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwvXzxPTwL
