寇洛琳一個人。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wQbTAF7zQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5FO6aAAG5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR7uArO41S
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv6HqE08A5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY86uO4fWoO
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG79N7TUIlX
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYxPggKKnd
「可是我昨天去過了。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwo2v5s0a5
「妳可以再去一次。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47lJnbBrBx
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBtFg1ILPD
於是，她就這樣被趕了出來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgNlqAYdWI
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMWb01Y0cH
一個人在房間裡玩玩具很無聊。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L7i0F7IJh
一個人走到後面的破爛網球場再走回來也很無聊。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB5jKzMuDI
而且自從夏天過後，她就不太想接近那口井。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQkllDk1IV
畢竟關在裡面的那個東西她一點也不想想起。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jMsVunxc0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJBLjvYPxa
寇洛琳覺得無聊透了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZVxlqWqtb
她曬著太陽，懶洋洋地瞇起眼睛。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rtpxSKM41
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHkkPzUqFn
草叢邊傳來窸窸窣窣的聲音，很像是老鼠在跑。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKt1y9eTUq
但是那東西明顯比老鼠大得多。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPJ2eqRmaQ
她豎耳傾聽。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5PBISjR4e
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF2cyIFddL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofq9OHKzv1
「是你！」寇洛琳驚訝地看著貓咪。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhegRHRMyXq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblPbdhHfxb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKO31x81ci
然後，牠優雅地坐下，與寇洛琳對望著。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLT5K0E14o
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv573fFOXD1
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MpFFCrwwY
貓咪黑色的尾巴晃了晃。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1ScNHFrlx
「謝謝你。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX58fITKxqt
貓咪又走近了一些，然後坐下。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ZqWQcebz
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC7LghNocb
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN9lxMzbFR
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau32G8wT1o
貓咪抬起了綠色的眼睛，慢慢眨了眨眼。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgtHSARNvD
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiCJUHd9DV
她低下了頭，把臉埋在膝蓋之間。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKKKm3zweY
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeta3vetOK2
「我只是想要有人陪我。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPQG2KyNE0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7OB3H1zmR
貓咪沒有說話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMtjUt6GgI
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ25Wtb7O0
寇洛琳知道，在這邊的這個世界，貓咪都是不說話的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1GWnpMSgG
可是她好想聽聽牠的聲音。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnsil6N9R8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4MbzUbEnV
「我們是朋友，對吧？」她對貓咪說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1fIctqytK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV52BGgCRn
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe1iVtrNTE
「謝謝你，真的。」她抱起了貓咪，用力擁緊牠。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkH4PZiC6Q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjAYWM4YVY
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQRVP8aUZM
寇洛琳與貓咪度過了一個愉快的下午。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8mYso32Qz
雖然只有她一個人在說話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoalTiSijRd
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew0KpDL6cy
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqO6t4fFCK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzW8G1menJ
夜晚，寇洛琳與貓咪肩並肩躺在柔軟溫暖的床鋪上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43wk9BOGUs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL92CDnBNF1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z7DjZI7xv
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZvULJNkkA
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpcXP3LHvi
貓咪聽到這句話，不滿地抖了抖身子。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesJ3J7SeE3
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGExzqQymz
她打了個大大的呵欠。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas2v71so20
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUKjR5DQaZ
「晚安，貓咪。」她說，然後閉上了眼睛。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapzH0LzaGn
貓咪綠色的瞳孔轉了轉，也緩緩地閉上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzet93CRghc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XtEFSaQLJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiklhxkGVg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb3KvAa1HA
寇洛琳站在一片廣闊無垠的大草原上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJihdkG4q6
四周有山、有樹、有橋、有河流。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pwhOoyNyA
她從來沒見過這種景色。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7GP7oMVix
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7JjjR4qYf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbbXm8uX7w
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcpqQvtod9
她知道自己在夢中。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSS8lBZcyd
但是她從來沒有夢過這麼漂亮又詭異的景致。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpEGOtWb2u
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrjsvD8Rcp
「寇洛琳。」有個聲音這樣叫她。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtORFyxs3EH
寇洛琳回頭張望，但是沒有半個人。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDm9aqM2V7
「寇洛琳。」那聲音又叫了一遍。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd36c4bUq4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q9NjUd0VI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd3tJboXIS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqsAJjpkys
她知道並且熟悉這種感覺。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLlJ5F1xrt
她認識那個聲音。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQUtnigLnR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMDmVlY0jV
「貓咪，是你嗎？」她說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeUhIzGOBT
「是的，是我，寇洛琳。」貓咪的聲音再度響起。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs31IAhMINV
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY50doq0g0d
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkmO8NIzZe
牠又開始賣弄牠的「貓式哲學」。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3LbVONKJ6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ340WjEV8sb
她踩了踩腳下，很軟，就像踩在自己的棉被上一樣軟。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQaBFKGerq
很好，她很滿意。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Pzp3t42U
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeA9CE4dEV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ84NYo7Qt
反正這裡是夢裏，她愛怎麼玩都行。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuXGTxfkRn
等到玩水玩夠了，她就躺在草地上滾來滾去。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIoY4Dqmwb
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZKMfmbazg
「我想你大概是我唯一的朋友。」她對貓咪說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenESmY3PQt
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjbAQ0tSFw
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdp2ELMyR5
貓咪沒有接話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP37mtCzON
「不過我們是真正的朋友，對吧。」她露出甜甜的一笑。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGyGFlYg1D
「……嗯。」貓咪的語氣聽起來有些害羞。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D31eJxV4B
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshtJ1K4Dsp
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA4TKPXPzf
低沉的嗓音清了清喉嚨。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW9IndrZF0
「嗯？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oww30Sbi6
「只要妳需要我，我就會陪在妳身邊。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbfVXe23Zo
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNjwrbMgKk
「嗯。」牠再度重申。「只要妳需要我的話。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwj0crpz8e
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT1SUQ7S5S
「不是嗎？你們人類總是喜新厭舊。」牠自嘲。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2RwvjiB9w
「才不會！」她大叫。「朋友之間是沒有這種事情的！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcY4nJqVO5
「是嗎？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanqPoNXzFj
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdokQ1CSI7
「……好吧，既然妳這麼說，我就試試看吧。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAsBCZUrFR
寇洛琳滿意地點了點頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VZJaCw6TO
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuOEJcWuX9
「我會一直在妳身旁陪著妳，當妳的朋友，寇洛琳。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRkmNb82f3
寇洛琳開心地笑了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2UpcpqQGb
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmhqlblGmk
然後，她又在夢中的世界玩了好久好久。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrAhnaUhOC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1SKMo2lqD
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieckx3qndj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6stKWuJ7NF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCBJ5cdS8Z
翌日，早晨的陽光射進窗戶，照在寇洛琳的臉上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB8g1qemEi
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb9nTX7YLe
「寇洛琳，起床囉。妳該去上學了。」媽媽站在床邊對她說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AsXfb8uvK
她睜開眼，床上只有她一個人，貓咪早就不見蹤影。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa0XZCzycO
不過她知道，牠就在她附近。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorO0AKhboW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydEzDaVglF
牠會一直陪著她的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3apcvE7Qv
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceyRQU0zSK
這個想法讓寇洛琳全身都感到暖洋洋的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOEXHaG54u
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bq8E3Y904
「怎麼了，親愛的？一起床就傻笑。做了好夢嗎？」媽媽問。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI00yacltvK
「嗯，算是吧。」她點點頭，下床把被子折好。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETTYxpGClZ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeWLVWy48i
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB3SpKJwqK
接著，她換好衣服，走到客廳和家人共進早餐。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkoSJ98weX

不過，小女孩寇洛琳終究會長大的47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Fj4WnbdV
寇洛林已經開始成長了47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF2v6ZbzUd
「永遠」這種東西對小孩來說或許很長47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtmhWJuTqa
但是長大之後呢?47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzRsHYuefv
所謂的一直在一起，又是多長的一段時間?47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d8D7uiz8x
重要的東西隨著時間的改變，是否仍然重要?47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS81Xubanph
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4RPvKxDwz
不過，我還是很喜歡寇洛琳與貓咪「現在」的這段情誼47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvuX3zzjGq
