寇洛琳一個人。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauTfACTAjV
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCM7dfsNTR
她坐在宅子前的台階上，面對著沒人整理而有些荒蕪的庭園。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTELekMyaTC
爸爸和媽媽不讓她去打擾他們，他們正為了新的工作而忙碌著，幾天後還準備要出差。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9k5sEpi3B
除了午餐和晚餐時間，爸爸跟媽媽都各自關在他們的書房裡，靠近門邊，可以聽到：喀、喀、喀……這樣敲打電腦鍵盤的聲音。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDeDG6Ylw1
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYGrMmFxhN
「親愛的，爸爸和媽媽正在工作。也許妳可以去找史小姐和福小姐，或是來個大冒險。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEvHgL8bFe
「可是我昨天去過了。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvic3GLDWBX
「妳可以再去一次。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AOAY3LKrd
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwZJrOZgTg
於是，她就這樣被趕了出來。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JrZEmX9sH
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AFrS5pqB2
一個人在房間裡玩玩具很無聊。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hz0gq8sKi
一個人走到後面的破爛網球場再走回來也很無聊。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvdJaMy5nu
而且自從夏天過後，她就不太想接近那口井。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqxYxBw7ke
畢竟關在裡面的那個東西她一點也不想想起。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpjl61WnzW
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHiOIjycJ1
寇洛琳覺得無聊透了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaRHyNpB20
她曬著太陽，懶洋洋地瞇起眼睛。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaPva5tpIz
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1nOcts0pU
草叢邊傳來窸窸窣窣的聲音，很像是老鼠在跑。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQigeVjEkK
但是那東西明顯比老鼠大得多。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbkYZaVFOu
她豎耳傾聽。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUM2Tz1ZVW
一團黑色的東西跳了出來，在草地上打滾，又站了起來，就像是綠油油的草地中一小片夜晚的天空。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKKakJIiyz
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMmQXfn1uB
「是你！」寇洛琳驚訝地看著貓咪。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhwEkmudUL
她已經很久沒有看見牠了，自從夏天那場幾乎讓她心跳停止的冒險後，貓咪就很少出現在她面前。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdjHH3xmNW
貓咪回望了她一眼，綠色的眼睛閃閃發光，就像在陽光下擺動的草。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN9T9uQlvO
然後，牠優雅地坐下，與寇洛琳對望著。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Y64R7bUW
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjEyw0UMlO
「你願意陪我說說話嗎？」她問著貓咪。「已經很久沒有人陪我聊天了。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb7wS456t9
貓咪黑色的尾巴晃了晃。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkSYI01daD
「謝謝你。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Ao8h1zJd
貓咪又走近了一些，然後坐下。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdqVFmSF9f
「爸爸和媽媽又不理我了。」她說。「我知道他們的工作很忙，也不想去打擾他們。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZKLdwO9p6
「如果去跟他們抱怨的話，一定會得到『噢，親愛的寇洛琳，爸爸跟媽媽辛苦工作全都是為了妳』這樣的答案。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNJvPZUuVt
「他們老是叫我去找史小姐和福小姐，或是去和波波先生的老鼠玩。但是他們從來沒有主動陪我玩過。一次也沒有。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgvpYUTDUk
貓咪抬起了綠色的眼睛，慢慢眨了眨眼。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsTsE5wIRV
「我知道，你一定覺得這樣的我很幼稚，像個任性的小女孩。」她苦笑。「可是我的確是一個小女孩。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnen2ei2ufj
她低下了頭，把臉埋在膝蓋之間。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QjFJdPiQv
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwb6Mpt7pt
「我只是想要有人陪我。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTfk1gkU1Z
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYpM2XgnkR
貓咪沒有說話。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpx2rkeMbD
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn6bjDjt5P
寇洛琳知道，在這邊的這個世界，貓咪都是不說話的。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVEstv1WYL
可是她好想聽聽牠的聲音。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nhX3yYnTN
良久，寇洛琳抬起頭，用袖口擦了擦紅紅的鼻子和臉頰。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xHFNRBIie
「我們是朋友，對吧？」她對貓咪說。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciO3vlJ6do
黑色的腳掌優雅且安靜地走向她，貓咪的尾巴甩啊甩，然後牠坐在她身旁，柔軟的毛茸茸前腳搭在她的膝上。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKoEclBnm1
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTEnpuhfxV
「謝謝你，真的。」她抱起了貓咪，用力擁緊牠。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ0JMZnnKE
貓咪起先有些不適應，試著掙脫她，但最後放棄了掙扎，乖乖地被寇洛琳抱在懷中。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVAmsLRADe
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY7UZe9aF2
寇洛琳與貓咪度過了一個愉快的下午。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchZsGWSEmD
雖然只有她一個人在說話。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WxbanwyS8
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdBPQDiVOm
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEELlAL4muJ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvxAYoGIxu
夜晚，寇洛琳與貓咪肩並肩躺在柔軟溫暖的床鋪上。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLmkyKvACP
雖然她不確定貓咪是不是真的有肩膀，不過他們靠得很近，她的臉可以感受到貓咪柔軟的觸感。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9FFRLne1A
星星在天空中一閃一閃，夜空的顏色跟貓咪身上的一樣。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDlAl5gfiz
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK61YtXu3A1
「我想，爸爸要是看到了我跟你躺在一起，一定不會准我把寵物帶進房間睡覺。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBqWzDV9Ix
貓咪聽到這句話，不滿地抖了抖身子。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKE93XPi0P
「可是我會跟爸爸說，你不是寵物，你是我的朋友。」寇洛琳撫摸著貓咪的下巴，聽牠發出呼嚕呼嚕的聲響。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn9X3scge8
她打了個大大的呵欠。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoHMnAQJNN
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpd3VsgLAl
「晚安，貓咪。」她說，然後閉上了眼睛。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOLID6hytH
貓咪綠色的瞳孔轉了轉，也緩緩地閉上。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLOr3iEIpb
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfvKBIwVcB
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVh50VpxbE
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkTgYAZEUK
寇洛琳站在一片廣闊無垠的大草原上。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAunPhIMc9n
四周有山、有樹、有橋、有河流。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu2HSr3D6g
她從來沒見過這種景色。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L0DUJYBMS
草是銀色的，閃著銀河般的光芒，在夜風中搖來晃去，像棉絮一般柔軟。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpMEDrNnZq
遠方的山就像是由一塊巨大寶石堆積而成，發出七彩奪目的燦爛光芒。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnqBrCmi6e
樹上結著色彩繽紛的果子，看起來很可口；紫色的河中是滿滿的金魚游動。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8TiNa44Us
她知道自己在夢中。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQTvSOizPe
但是她從來沒有夢過這麼漂亮又詭異的景致。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR20ufCm2q
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uh8xZYxBt
「寇洛琳。」有個聲音這樣叫她。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoighMmvc3A
寇洛琳回頭張望，但是沒有半個人。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9vfeLpGe5
「寇洛琳。」那聲音又叫了一遍。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiBoMMTKIx
那是很低沉、有點沙啞、帶著一些磁性，讓人聽了很安心很舒服的嗓音。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkigVri4YNe
那個聲音並不是從任何地方傳來的，而是在寇洛琳腦中響起，直接傳達給她。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZGAAWeEtm
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQQc39pkis
她知道並且熟悉這種感覺。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8cFhhnQTC
她認識那個聲音。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmQUtYB5QZ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8T8N3Vfrh
「貓咪，是你嗎？」她說。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuHHtZEuqy
「是的，是我，寇洛琳。」貓咪的聲音再度響起。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwWqYkkpG2
「你又會說話了耶！」她的語氣聽起來很開心，充滿喜悅。「可是你在哪裡？我看不到你。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpAk1UR7q6
「我就在這裡。」貓咪說。「在這裡不需要形體，因為這裡就是這裡。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0slQ87xASB
牠又開始賣弄牠的「貓式哲學」。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlS69stfVR
寇洛琳嘟著嘴，有些不滿。但是她仍然很開心，可以聽到貓咪的聲音。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZulu3ByHX
她踩了踩腳下，很軟，就像踩在自己的棉被上一樣軟。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqB5YuB2Qj
很好，她很滿意。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmWoGKvFWn
於是寇洛琳跨開大步奔跑著，從草地跑到小山丘上，再從山丘滾回草地上。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAT7vFbKSX
她在小河中跳來跳去，濺起銀紫色的透明水花，看著河裏的金魚啪噠啪噠擺著鰭在她腳邊跳躍。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9juEy8ij6
反正這裡是夢裏，她愛怎麼玩都行。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGvy4dFS6s
等到玩水玩夠了，她就躺在草地上滾來滾去。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYBzkUu1Ao
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAHVTOWnaG
「我想你大概是我唯一的朋友。」她對貓咪說。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCfFsgkuPw
「我想，我大概是妳唯一的貓類朋友。」牠說。寇洛琳可以從語氣裏想像到牠聳肩的樣子。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Cyqf7vDm
「噢，那我大概也是你唯一的人類朋友吧。」寇洛琳吐吐舌，不滿牠的挖苦。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWS7E6QbwX
貓咪沒有接話。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42JJgfuHSC
「不過我們是真正的朋友，對吧。」她露出甜甜的一笑。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksPiubRec9
「……嗯。」貓咪的語氣聽起來有些害羞。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEDoKXBbzi
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i7l5wVlGo
「寇洛琳，」沉默了好一段時間，牠再度開口。「只要妳希望的話……」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zUMU2SqY1
低沉的嗓音清了清喉嚨。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcNglZbLaL
「嗯？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pvv34xJFa
「只要妳需要我，我就會陪在妳身邊。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7qmMMuhpS
「真的嗎！？」她興奮地尖叫起來，不太相信從貓咪口中會聽到這種話。「你的意思是，一直一直跟我在一起嗎？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNhHBhkCi7
「嗯。」牠再度重申。「只要妳需要我的話。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k5CHLVxlf
「你的口氣聽起來，好像哪一天我就不要你似的。」這讓寇洛琳聽起來很不舒服。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWlPJjLFbh
「不是嗎？你們人類總是喜新厭舊。」牠自嘲。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC6uDexXro
「才不會！」她大叫。「朋友之間是沒有這種事情的！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX3w8wgAkc
「是嗎？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbasbEXbEHS
「我們會一直一直在一起，沒有什麼新舊之分的！知道了嗎？」她氣瘋了，對著貓咪大聲說教。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ8XXztKT1
「……好吧，既然妳這麼說，我就試試看吧。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ydzqxqDJ
寇洛琳滿意地點了點頭。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1VeYuKPcL
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTGwrgFagd
「我會一直在妳身旁陪著妳，當妳的朋友，寇洛琳。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOEgn8BfiY
寇洛琳開心地笑了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCesmvSyFI1
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU1ATQHKxo
然後，她又在夢中的世界玩了好久好久。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKMD7BKUR3
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7apRW9DbB1
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHOMaO1LPA
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNHUOhl6yO
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWbINxaYEm
翌日，早晨的陽光射進窗戶，照在寇洛琳的臉上。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzeMMfoqsl
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k5EglFrEp
「寇洛琳，起床囉。妳該去上學了。」媽媽站在床邊對她說。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCUQkx83Nf
她睜開眼，床上只有她一個人，貓咪早就不見蹤影。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf0FrybCjA
不過她知道，牠就在她附近。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvEyPlddNl
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q200mS68p
牠會一直陪著她的。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74n3NSv9f2
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiEE9lxmaq
這個想法讓寇洛琳全身都感到暖洋洋的。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwnGszlF9D
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQJN6IqSii
「怎麼了，親愛的？一起床就傻笑。做了好夢嗎？」媽媽問。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nZ4e7Mg8b
「嗯，算是吧。」她點點頭，下床把被子折好。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRLBxKz552
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dU2iq2ZCr
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt59mq5gXx
接著，她換好衣服，走到客廳和家人共進早餐。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvQpetCWYG
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVXwK6rm4Z

不過，小女孩寇洛琳終究會長大的36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJCc04YoLK
寇洛林已經開始成長了36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcMGngd6K2
「永遠」這種東西對小孩來說或許很長36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiU8CA2qjd
但是長大之後呢?36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbMCK33jt6
所謂的一直在一起，又是多長的一段時間?36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnF4hMv3zA
重要的東西隨著時間的改變，是否仍然重要?36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Ga3sgx7A
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV18bXfyF6
不過，我還是很喜歡寇洛琳與貓咪「現在」的這段情誼36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqefCD78Rw
