寇洛琳一個人。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiazpzjkUju
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HdsPeSzPO
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho60spoe47
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjWScj2oVP
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYQaVMxBBX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriWvS3ydes
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8j444ppEP
「可是我昨天去過了。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZvpHxL42D
「妳可以再去一次。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlborYdBilo
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjJEBRtyVY
於是，她就這樣被趕了出來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjXPwBZZT9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9fQjlcW37
一個人在房間裡玩玩具很無聊。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYExWpLz9Vb
一個人走到後面的破爛網球場再走回來也很無聊。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhDDf7AvtW
而且自從夏天過後，她就不太想接近那口井。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvo433xUBN
畢竟關在裡面的那個東西她一點也不想想起。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hqrCYXBGk
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPaAgyrwsC
寇洛琳覺得無聊透了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WGwXRUrmH
她曬著太陽，懶洋洋地瞇起眼睛。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKphnNLkkPB
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8i2oZUbnA
草叢邊傳來窸窸窣窣的聲音，很像是老鼠在跑。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGlI06P1ZN
但是那東西明顯比老鼠大得多。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDIF0nldja
她豎耳傾聽。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9i8Vi09Rs
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nDqXh3Lr7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QTz5NLRIY
「是你！」寇洛琳驚訝地看著貓咪。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmoHSFc5VA
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEUMMfDVdl
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDqFNOcfj0
然後，牠優雅地坐下，與寇洛琳對望著。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKynGpV42P
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ8tSjEyVX
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZAVQkkmni
貓咪黑色的尾巴晃了晃。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH0ZZFKBf1
「謝謝你。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9CmNGKnmD
貓咪又走近了一些，然後坐下。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Rw5vpn8q
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTIyHquIay
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5xxHTMqN5
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ182chQAUN
貓咪抬起了綠色的眼睛，慢慢眨了眨眼。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzaSrbtHDu
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgqxIxXxUV
她低下了頭，把臉埋在膝蓋之間。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUh8yptUOs
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqQMTfOF6o
「我只是想要有人陪我。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTDOiS6zMk
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8iaTz72VH
貓咪沒有說話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vjTGbvH3w
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5WInXuPqY
寇洛琳知道，在這邊的這個世界，貓咪都是不說話的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuwEK2WnGa
可是她好想聽聽牠的聲音。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVULbjujMbu
良久，寇洛琳抬起頭，用袖口擦了擦紅紅的鼻子和臉頰。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjZv6HGjst
「我們是朋友，對吧？」她對貓咪說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTJ31WIZZA
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPs2wLUXy3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hnkX1MVjm
「謝謝你，真的。」她抱起了貓咪，用力擁緊牠。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmDAHxC76z
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEZkktvI4m
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzy5NIluq0
寇洛琳與貓咪度過了一個愉快的下午。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuqVdEm2vd
雖然只有她一個人在說話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFNOPf0jQl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkgfNz7d2c
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnFr6e9NKw
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7OgTXYuZX
夜晚，寇洛琳與貓咪肩並肩躺在柔軟溫暖的床鋪上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLPBfjeQHW
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7nIxRSghV
星星在天空中一閃一閃，夜空的顏色跟貓咪身上的一樣。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU9C061omb
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IWcoqgPaw
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLNPCH38U9
貓咪聽到這句話，不滿地抖了抖身子。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WESUkMny9
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTmUdJaUoi
她打了個大大的呵欠。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgObr062RSR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNlC9PIRLV
「晚安，貓咪。」她說，然後閉上了眼睛。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUiYbUReqz
貓咪綠色的瞳孔轉了轉，也緩緩地閉上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJ0EX4RCb
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGzsjcLnne
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvPvqBvvDQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtfO3Dltlx
寇洛琳站在一片廣闊無垠的大草原上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pm96K4lMH
四周有山、有樹、有橋、有河流。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ga1W8bBXo
她從來沒見過這種景色。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRi76QOYZz
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdDYZIET46
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VU1EC31XU
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OvD9wqUci
她知道自己在夢中。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkqJPGq3Qq
但是她從來沒有夢過這麼漂亮又詭異的景致。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUQHbZ2SLT
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbZr7evLZe
「寇洛琳。」有個聲音這樣叫她。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwIRp35Byw
寇洛琳回頭張望，但是沒有半個人。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJokNeCowuX
「寇洛琳。」那聲音又叫了一遍。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PMuQPHu2M
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWldZKVERE
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLnA7Letqb
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6zcCNnr4Z
她知道並且熟悉這種感覺。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG3ybQPJEW
她認識那個聲音。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqtBihlom6
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJtkAmCT2
「貓咪，是你嗎？」她說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNT9ozIWSi
「是的，是我，寇洛琳。」貓咪的聲音再度響起。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD98Adqumlj
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1uMU6rjUD
「我就在這裡。」貓咪說。「在這裡不需要形體，因為這裡就是這裡。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrYYVp5vf3
牠又開始賣弄牠的「貓式哲學」。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNvxPra70H
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWqPYPyy3r
她踩了踩腳下，很軟，就像踩在自己的棉被上一樣軟。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSq0vbkkCv
很好，她很滿意。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzSV7Nrdts
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ObG4OvqYZ
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU7K3YyUar
反正這裡是夢裏，她愛怎麼玩都行。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvklON0rXJ
等到玩水玩夠了，她就躺在草地上滾來滾去。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jQeYiMAv8
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiofsXYmJ66
「我想你大概是我唯一的朋友。」她對貓咪說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuEvJHsv2B
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpWjPLCxbY
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xqNlggYJ
貓咪沒有接話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy9UFAPf0l
「不過我們是真正的朋友，對吧。」她露出甜甜的一笑。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGs8l2P32D
「……嗯。」貓咪的語氣聽起來有些害羞。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQUETYvi2f
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRZEEMDW8X
「寇洛琳，」沉默了好一段時間，牠再度開口。「只要妳希望的話……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yXyobXwsF
低沉的嗓音清了清喉嚨。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyFzWPQiiS
「嗯？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTM1IwClt8
「只要妳需要我，我就會陪在妳身邊。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLn6UZxH7x
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4CwLJDNOE
「嗯。」牠再度重申。「只要妳需要我的話。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpbXQA9aiC
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOqiE0RVWD
「不是嗎？你們人類總是喜新厭舊。」牠自嘲。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF9VZXnQZZ
「才不會！」她大叫。「朋友之間是沒有這種事情的！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwV6CBFPCU
「是嗎？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXgUonJE1V
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1aB2AQ1cg
「……好吧，既然妳這麼說，我就試試看吧。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqzzP1OP3M
寇洛琳滿意地點了點頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FE9L4OBUi
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG8utn7RuW
「我會一直在妳身旁陪著妳，當妳的朋友，寇洛琳。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoknltdHJYM
寇洛琳開心地笑了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSEgxhNrQK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlF23BiVDI
然後，她又在夢中的世界玩了好久好久。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60SqL0f875
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpEHCrlRdh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO43vMGpeBc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWpmpooSbl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLAEGYSglD
翌日，早晨的陽光射進窗戶，照在寇洛琳的臉上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zZdLucLGf
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3wiD13EBf
「寇洛琳，起床囉。妳該去上學了。」媽媽站在床邊對她說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Iu6mSZu5
她睜開眼，床上只有她一個人，貓咪早就不見蹤影。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohiswD9p9h
不過她知道，牠就在她附近。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtNofw3t9i
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEixkVOHsai
牠會一直陪著她的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2bfDTFAwO
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mprL4Z7s1
這個想法讓寇洛琳全身都感到暖洋洋的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0boyy6RmBR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZjuHhx9ru
「怎麼了，親愛的？一起床就傻笑。做了好夢嗎？」媽媽問。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjWE4vfjgs
「嗯，算是吧。」她點點頭，下床把被子折好。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFaTQCE767
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfTtLxbmsV
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXuQfvqkSl
接著，她換好衣服，走到客廳和家人共進早餐。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTJDLjLQwh

不過，小女孩寇洛琳終究會長大的47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Jpgc5lAC
寇洛林已經開始成長了47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IPzmm00Ox
「永遠」這種東西對小孩來說或許很長47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7tQuJZmu
但是長大之後呢?47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGSH3oaRcc
所謂的一直在一起，又是多長的一段時間?47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fG04HBtRp
重要的東西隨著時間的改變，是否仍然重要?47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaVrmrMUZp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2UwyTj4Ch
不過，我還是很喜歡寇洛琳與貓咪「現在」的這段情誼47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBZTo05LJO
