寇洛琳一個人。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDQpTufPc0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gpD3eTyhU
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkKKn1EPuZ
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZDYL2ESNu
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fjCPYITaI
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub0pZqgEdQ
「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。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43lvielVDv
「可是我昨天去過了。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlhYLlR7ya
「妳可以再去一次。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlCGemcAOi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMTTdf7e26
於是，她就這樣被趕了出來。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMRwMGFtHd
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIevtZ5OeoS
一個人在房間裡玩玩具很無聊。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdcFy57SZZ
一個人走到後面的破爛網球場再走回來也很無聊。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI9UGEQxIg
而且自從夏天過後，她就不太想接近那口井。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF0rwRgAXF
畢竟關在裡面的那個東西她一點也不想想起。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTtAnJjAsu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgomN126Dx1
寇洛琳覺得無聊透了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMoXT6FgKN
她曬著太陽，懶洋洋地瞇起眼睛。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7do5KzdLV
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVoVwzKsyv
草叢邊傳來窸窸窣窣的聲音，很像是老鼠在跑。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc18I8IxHa1
但是那東西明顯比老鼠大得多。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ih9xYlrMz
她豎耳傾聽。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nky0dalfv
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JmbPKDtpg
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM20CogY6hy
「是你！」寇洛琳驚訝地看著貓咪。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2zYSrG1l2
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mtwYRE6HQ
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2LZASsC3o
然後，牠優雅地坐下，與寇洛琳對望著。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPS1LN0DD0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWYWKDqKSY
「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。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bgAg0zjbx
貓咪黑色的尾巴晃了晃。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtxPuyrss9
「謝謝你。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq8fGVF8yI
貓咪又走近了一些，然後坐下。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuA47TqDWb
「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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzljOl7qai
「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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZVaW8etVO
「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。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc09eNVm8J
貓咪抬起了綠色的眼睛，慢慢眨了眨眼。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuvqj7NejD
「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。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ejSx63H8
她低下了頭，把臉埋在膝蓋之間。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRRviT0hH6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJI6Za39eL
「我只是想要有人陪我。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLj6ipy1ie
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxciC3p1sIO
貓咪沒有說話。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLmjPssxoW
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7t5MaSTqA
寇洛琳知道，在這邊的這個世界，貓咪都是不說話的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lynf8jsh9
可是她好想聽聽牠的聲音。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBnZ44kLAj
良久，寇洛琳抬起頭，用袖口擦了擦紅紅的鼻子和臉頰。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRmCX8sXmw
「我們是朋友，對吧？」她對貓咪說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOqpGNSpHi
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8oKmcfmcD
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgJNqBOPil
「謝謝你，真的。」她抱起了貓咪，用力擁緊牠。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzM7z55pVb
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcm3FDdfFc
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0SVuNCKge
寇洛琳與貓咪度過了一個愉快的下午。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYcPZyl57l
雖然只有她一個人在說話。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0MFzDAwFH
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGERtl6yGtb
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYd2F8AXoL
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAlG9TVZXU
夜晚，寇洛琳與貓咪肩並肩躺在柔軟溫暖的床鋪上。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EJSEuIRRR
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkHP1ZCmi4
星星在天空中一閃一閃，夜空的顏色跟貓咪身上的一樣。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvF4VwRsfn
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmINBMw4RsV
「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。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cx2JTtPqD
貓咪聽到這句話，不滿地抖了抖身子。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2icbNAAcM
「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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDxAzBH3yC
她打了個大大的呵欠。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOeKQ9sAQV
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO8whoWhdS
「晚安，貓咪。」她說，然後閉上了眼睛。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfTxKSnHXF
貓咪綠色的瞳孔轉了轉，也緩緩地閉上。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojg9ik8BPn
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzVCoYqqFc
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ983lmg0U9v
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lM3HVcovS
寇洛琳站在一片廣闊無垠的大草原上。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQvimcZV8H
四周有山、有樹、有橋、有河流。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFDWbI5HRb
她從來沒見過這種景色。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnDUhb478P
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA6fGTI2bu
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfMfEXYCBL
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfK58ejwAp
她知道自己在夢中。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MdqtzA2bX
但是她從來沒有夢過這麼漂亮又詭異的景致。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo4sRUfKEN
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQM9WU9b4
「寇洛琳。」有個聲音這樣叫她。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vCGH8B5zW
寇洛琳回頭張望，但是沒有半個人。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSGzQAxG3S
「寇洛琳。」那聲音又叫了一遍。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYu8iJY039
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYkv8brBaF
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg35robACGt
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycsIP0ZioD
她知道並且熟悉這種感覺。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDhPeKOIJ8
她認識那個聲音。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIfBX1VZYT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOwjBBKBGB
「貓咪，是你嗎？」她說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcwrRAIfP4
「是的，是我，寇洛琳。」貓咪的聲音再度響起。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmGOIuSphi
「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。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiSBKj65yt
「我就在這裡。」貓咪說。「在這裡不需要形體，因為這裡就是這裡。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaetvmyow3
牠又開始賣弄牠的「貓式哲學」。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkTcECLEUm
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIac6OU6PwO
她踩了踩腳下，很軟，就像踩在自己的棉被上一樣軟。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXhyvOwmgo
很好，她很滿意。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdb45P9A8S
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxDAn2LyDx
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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8telxQPzd
反正這裡是夢裏，她愛怎麼玩都行。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfnr4mrwUL
等到玩水玩夠了，她就躺在草地上滾來滾去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWySL9euxCd
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmYH3foCge
「我想你大概是我唯一的朋友。」她對貓咪說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsBWpWwBeK
「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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuedn01zZM
「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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FAVFa3Muz
貓咪沒有接話。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAZsTDsfAJ
「不過我們是真正的朋友，對吧。」她露出甜甜的一笑。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiE030iR15
「……嗯。」貓咪的語氣聽起來有些害羞。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVV5PVV3Rr
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyg5dISyuc
「寇洛琳，」沉默了好一段時間，牠再度開口。「只要妳希望的話……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw70ctbqsQ
低沉的嗓音清了清喉嚨。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBG36YJnZe
「嗯？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UoDIzJ8t6
「只要妳需要我，我就會陪在妳身邊。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKf3BCjyo8
「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？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCdx8ddq9u
「嗯。」牠再度重申。「只要妳需要我的話。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUBCrUE8HH
「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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJjxZ0t6f1
「不是嗎？你們人類總是喜新厭舊。」牠自嘲。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYqqURks2Z
「才不會！」她大叫。「朋友之間是沒有這種事情的！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxSrdhYLkR
「是嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqDe1OQyfU
「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。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECJDegahJ1
「……好吧，既然妳這麼說，我就試試看吧。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr395tP1Ej7
寇洛琳滿意地點了點頭。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiCVbgygyl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJhYoaFmKW
「我會一直在妳身旁陪著妳，當妳的朋友，寇洛琳。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fYt7I0C3v
寇洛琳開心地笑了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pWxUkkD9Z
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfWFG7O0es
然後，她又在夢中的世界玩了好久好久。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOlJWOcy3l
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglZMScZ5YS
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRez291Rvh
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXbZQyzpc9
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEF6G6ZtOu
翌日，早晨的陽光射進窗戶，照在寇洛琳的臉上。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq061jmlCUY
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9uELXllaM
「寇洛琳，起床囉。妳該去上學了。」媽媽站在床邊對她說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotDrxOq5ac
她睜開眼，床上只有她一個人，貓咪早就不見蹤影。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA6lBqACnw
不過她知道，牠就在她附近。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ391Jjlxww7
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcFz0LsQt0
牠會一直陪著她的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHK5jYiPJl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lRJwBWz3v
這個想法讓寇洛琳全身都感到暖洋洋的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKo5iUK5vd
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIThyO1dlM
「怎麼了，親愛的？一起床就傻笑。做了好夢嗎？」媽媽問。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EzQVvs2cZ
「嗯，算是吧。」她點點頭，下床把被子折好。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ssC0i5hZ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZIS5aK5W
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKECRyDj1DN
接著，她換好衣服，走到客廳和家人共進早餐。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeS1jxZ04j

所謂的一直在一起，又是多長的一段時間?49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORhUbxvStq
重要的東西隨著時間的改變，是否仍然重要?49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzklFsddOJV
