寇洛琳一個人。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAO1p8LXFD
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR8ziPtV9t
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSZ4BTAoW9
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeum9GauW2d
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmxKE6ntvk
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gMNZdQFk3
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCGs5Fdviq
「可是我昨天去過了。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nVVHvwUiF
「妳可以再去一次。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGIP90hRM0
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbhMrTRSyn
於是，她就這樣被趕了出來。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4ZgStsjDM
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCG5GaTMp6
一個人在房間裡玩玩具很無聊。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmfMIdjt3m
一個人走到後面的破爛網球場再走回來也很無聊。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTkeoykbfF
而且自從夏天過後，她就不太想接近那口井。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1awIhDkEhT
畢竟關在裡面的那個東西她一點也不想想起。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlmME31xgh
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgEM8B7W9N
寇洛琳覺得無聊透了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJeqtcu34c
她曬著太陽，懶洋洋地瞇起眼睛。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzuhPxsttx
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvboqagDI8
草叢邊傳來窸窸窣窣的聲音，很像是老鼠在跑。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCfIS8GmiZ
但是那東西明顯比老鼠大得多。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLDrCWg1U5
她豎耳傾聽。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCplQJWqzf4
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zcCHHyo85
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPgY7kwCtv
「是你！」寇洛琳驚訝地看著貓咪。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF2xG32wBC
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyp5hXfRSW
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmyix2eyRM
然後，牠優雅地坐下，與寇洛琳對望著。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kZwtXu01S
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDIrTEKgB6
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPyVb7n3Qq
貓咪黑色的尾巴晃了晃。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OmoHSYSYK
「謝謝你。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0N20JCC8N
貓咪又走近了一些，然後坐下。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23HIBrsNEu
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQS0M9dwnZ
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfODSqrvnIZ
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUPvKq9mu1
貓咪抬起了綠色的眼睛，慢慢眨了眨眼。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s4Pshp3V9
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWcerzCEVD
她低下了頭，把臉埋在膝蓋之間。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypZLONyyMU
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU6pruDXsq
「我只是想要有人陪我。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNoIHbAxH7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5W8OvE3s7
貓咪沒有說話。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYGfPpk0nr
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV2ojsbBpT
寇洛琳知道，在這邊的這個世界，貓咪都是不說話的。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtclHk7Qtko
可是她好想聽聽牠的聲音。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08D265vTTh
良久，寇洛琳抬起頭，用袖口擦了擦紅紅的鼻子和臉頰。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcoYW0kGGp
「我們是朋友，對吧？」她對貓咪說。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz8BPYNNhg
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQwB1ClakA
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN8Nfwvz89
「謝謝你，真的。」她抱起了貓咪，用力擁緊牠。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1jS20sVDQ
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaAg6Vxy87
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJ1dCINT4
寇洛琳與貓咪度過了一個愉快的下午。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSXOBW46uh
雖然只有她一個人在說話。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm9tWmjNwV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9ax3rK1wy
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOJtEcvWlE
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgZl7xJfQG
夜晚，寇洛琳與貓咪肩並肩躺在柔軟溫暖的床鋪上。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vu5dc5o9D
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbov4yoS5i
星星在天空中一閃一閃，夜空的顏色跟貓咪身上的一樣。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMzyAkUV5E
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujHcuTHroJ
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYmoGrn8LQ
貓咪聽到這句話，不滿地抖了抖身子。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUAkjmCViU
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9AEFZKMSq
她打了個大大的呵欠。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IOa7ASLcL
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWtyVIoYP7
「晚安，貓咪。」她說，然後閉上了眼睛。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwvRD28Wdw
貓咪綠色的瞳孔轉了轉，也緩緩地閉上。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhmpMHLpQX
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZzYRNUJN5
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEeaLNhW87
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo3oKI39z4
寇洛琳站在一片廣闊無垠的大草原上。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfcOHBemSV
四周有山、有樹、有橋、有河流。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrNGZfbprI
她從來沒見過這種景色。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvkFKuYaXZ
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDBuekF0xA
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hLkJb5Bi5
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIiuxsDSA4
她知道自己在夢中。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrrVfrzGa7
但是她從來沒有夢過這麼漂亮又詭異的景致。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybY8i7Fjbl
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSJjPZW8jI
「寇洛琳。」有個聲音這樣叫她。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHgvZDQDI7
寇洛琳回頭張望，但是沒有半個人。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5CjWmpoOG
「寇洛琳。」那聲音又叫了一遍。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmQjRG0e1Q
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorv2fZIWi7
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg2l2ng9A0
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EUJs4CmOp
她知道並且熟悉這種感覺。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm5n5apv2j
她認識那個聲音。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesu1pOXRuY
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg2QxaBpUh
「貓咪，是你嗎？」她說。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FjE9q1mny
「是的，是我，寇洛琳。」貓咪的聲音再度響起。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADT8DWQDRE
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBrDB3Bq75
「我就在這裡。」貓咪說。「在這裡不需要形體，因為這裡就是這裡。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HP6Od2va7
牠又開始賣弄牠的「貓式哲學」。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQly4UmFDp
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvxEdMmTMQ
她踩了踩腳下，很軟，就像踩在自己的棉被上一樣軟。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvHKY9FMX5
很好，她很滿意。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHwTehROqK
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7uzvd8SPC
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5F9QidR5F
反正這裡是夢裏，她愛怎麼玩都行。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmrCvAeMvT
等到玩水玩夠了，她就躺在草地上滾來滾去。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxqIxY4FC6
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhnseP5zD0
「我想你大概是我唯一的朋友。」她對貓咪說。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumYU3mFdce
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPiKozzrO5
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyBXeC0e0G
貓咪沒有接話。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq2nhluh1f
「不過我們是真正的朋友，對吧。」她露出甜甜的一笑。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lEG6TnuDK
「……嗯。」貓咪的語氣聽起來有些害羞。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBgZ0qZfHt
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHn3CfmkOU
「寇洛琳，」沉默了好一段時間，牠再度開口。「只要妳希望的話……」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBrQ5CfNUa
低沉的嗓音清了清喉嚨。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNgi1jx7zY
「嗯？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXHkiQ4K6A
「只要妳需要我，我就會陪在妳身邊。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtbzBfZQzF
「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？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzKreSU3vz
「嗯。」牠再度重申。「只要妳需要我的話。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJEu7TfNvd
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrNICbkPpy
「不是嗎？你們人類總是喜新厭舊。」牠自嘲。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZfyPqwL0G
「才不會！」她大叫。「朋友之間是沒有這種事情的！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQgPe0NLbQ
「是嗎？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpOOtZORFb
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat7aDMXsQ5
「……好吧，既然妳這麼說，我就試試看吧。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBShigUUr
寇洛琳滿意地點了點頭。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6qcerZmOV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YQMiIPzGY
「我會一直在妳身旁陪著妳，當妳的朋友，寇洛琳。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXXDENbYF4
寇洛琳開心地笑了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgTumHxXku
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IiZUhr2mE
然後，她又在夢中的世界玩了好久好久。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I0QkBz3XS
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IdOhzWfE7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOkBBPgbGy
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOgtGhXYQX
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKA8nLSuCv
翌日，早晨的陽光射進窗戶，照在寇洛琳的臉上。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXkQtpLRZ0
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmO16UxPuH
「寇洛琳，起床囉。妳該去上學了。」媽媽站在床邊對她說。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKS454dmFF
她睜開眼，床上只有她一個人，貓咪早就不見蹤影。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01IQxOddot
不過她知道，牠就在她附近。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnKC5HeEZv
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcMBfAII8Q
牠會一直陪著她的。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAK76Oxcew
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTiJLARlON
這個想法讓寇洛琳全身都感到暖洋洋的。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvjPA8uEd9
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRV996Gs8x
「怎麼了，親愛的？一起床就傻笑。做了好夢嗎？」媽媽問。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPbscEmQcw
「嗯，算是吧。」她點點頭，下床把被子折好。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCgYj2KGvo
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvHJwKhZCX
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jwB39OXfn
接著，她換好衣服，走到客廳和家人共進早餐。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReLCwv3L8Z

不過，小女孩寇洛琳終究會長大的30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ5tMJhFak
寇洛林已經開始成長了30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM8uhEgrIQ
「永遠」這種東西對小孩來說或許很長30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyKw9V8UyU
但是長大之後呢?30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEtbHj9T0K
所謂的一直在一起，又是多長的一段時間?30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oGJGOsFFf
重要的東西隨著時間的改變，是否仍然重要?30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37i0HUXhbM
