這時，蕭邦早離開鋼琴，與同有川伴音樂緩慢地舞著，卻在見到三人後停下舞步迎了上去。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6dWWycQXs
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ546j6vHBjC
「德爵夫人，妳的臉色蒼白極了。」同有川關心。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLHC4YiZIw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjELe0hHt7a
「不，沒什麼，只不過是臉上的粉擦得太厚了。」德爵女士勉強露出微笑，語氣中卻透露出濃濃的疲倦。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKuKtlvwJQ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA5Q2xs0jb
「啊，是嗎。」她一點，不追問。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffUnPGp6mm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp78CAIL9k
「給妳介紹一個人。」德爵女士一把拉過瑪莉亞。「這是我的女兒，瑪莉亞，緣分很巧妙，可不是嗎？瑪莉亞，這位是同小姐。還有，記得吧？蕭邦先生。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G1oaiZOAv
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypOeSAg7X0
同有川帶著驚訝的微笑和瑪莉亞打聲招呼，瑪莉亞卻不領情，看也不看她一眼，直接轉向蕭邦，露出笑靨。「好久不見！弗雷德里克！」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbfWxkeJJ0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrWIKm695U
「是許久了。」蕭邦點點頭，也是滿眼訝然。「沒想到竟然在這裡碰見妳。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDdVTYz2yw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4KusSH9HM
瑪莉亞嘻嘻一笑。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KLrKWRSHd
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr0Ul9yOTe
「很高興見到妳。」蕭邦淡淡說，拉起同有川的手。「祝你們有個美好的夜晚，失陪了。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlSt8SaT09
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MXkeHIYK9
不等德爵一家回應，他轉身帶同有川走入人群之中。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTvMO4aBxq
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mOeyN851N
他的冷淡讓瑪莉亞楞在原地，瞬間收起笑容，抿起嘴，冷冷看兩人的離去背影。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACrtTeyOQw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG4tZxQA1l
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZVk8my0qq
婚禮結束後過了一週。七天以來，蕭邦與同有川沒有再碰見德爵夫婦，兩人卻在一週之後，接到德爵夫婦寄來的邀請函──為了瑪莉亞的歸來，他們想邀請兩人與他們一同慶祝。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo5TO24Obu
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDhkJIh8JG
收到邀請函的那天早晨，蕭邦正不知道在忙些什麼，只看信一眼就興趣缺缺地把信放到一旁。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViLr26DClv
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KcLM5P0iq
「德爵夫婦邀請我們明天去吃晚餐。」她解釋給他聽。「你沒興趣嗎？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxiVtDQR3a
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswNFPjx606
搖搖頭，他嘆一聲。「不是餐宴的問題。問題是瑪莉亞。與她相處時，我感到極大的壓力。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStFBDRY7I1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPbeOwcKtE
沉默半晌，她想起瑪莉亞在晚宴上的無理舉止，忍不住問：「她的性格是什麼樣？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYjVesoDMO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPejz3IiS3
「一個被寵壞的小女孩。」他簡單回，又嘆口氣，抬起頭，望向窗外，像不經意搬說：「今日天氣不錯，我們出去走走吧。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj0CYKdGfT
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U8CEHQAb8
「你會赴約邀請嗎？」她追問。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiKF1MA7m9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvwBqIDXP5
「我無法拒絕。走吧。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad1TJwCiG1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjraj0jEBkG
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SReFCsiFX
喚了馬車，蕭邦和馬車伕交代一個她從沒聽過的地名。途中，她好奇問蕭邦那是什麼地方？64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhwsFw3EPF
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H4F5GgWeT
閉上眼睛，他笑：「其實，我也不清楚。一個星期前，弗朗茨和我起的……」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPhzK9C5v5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjYYvNJQxI
她一怔，突然笑出來，窩到他胸前。「原來，那天在教堂，李斯特先生和你說的是這件事。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L0HOdXdqw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw8XmaA5wG
蕭邦靜靜露出微笑。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3M0M7bNjR
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA67OhWmXB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCbDlx4VAN
馬車駛入泥濘小道，兩旁建築漸漸稀疏，到後頭只剩下翠綠的樹木與遼闊的田埂，當風兒吹來樹上的枝葉還會一搖一擺向他們招著手。從車窗望天空，巴黎市中心的髒灰色天空被田園上空的湛藍給替代了。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcjoGP3VSo
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlDOpxwozt
馬車停靠於鄉間小路間。她跨下馬車，深深吸一口氣，吸入田園間清晰的空氣。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gumq8nLy5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN6B3HgcXY
蕭邦跟在她後頭，朝四周張望一番，雙眼中帶複雜的神情，提議：「到處走走吧。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqF58cU641
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswxBbxZLxB
兩人並著肩，緩緩步於陂陀的小徑。沿路微風襲來，拂過他們的髮梢，拂過兩旁穀物的葉片。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D6BQ3wakU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiXYk2MHjZ
蕭邦望左右的兩道田畝，有些失神，喃喃道：「弗朗茨說的沒有錯──這個地方，的確有波蘭的味道……」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pjqvNHFNG
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMugzd9OgF
她知道他想念家鄉，輕輕握住他的手。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcU3fgrDI4
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxNUeYKxDM
蕭邦悵然垂下頭，主動說：「兩年前，華沙淪陷了，我也回不去了。我那可憐的母親──如今想起她，只剩下心痛。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmp4Wpf86D
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCM6poMCgL
「弗雷德里克，你還有我。」她心折笑起來。「彎彎嘴角，我想你的母親不會希望你為家鄉的事情愁容滿面。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAifrtoBnV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qvjPVvacD
深吸一口氣，又吐出來，他頷首，緩緩說：「我想，我是幸運的。至少，妳一直在我身邊。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYskQH2eIBa
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuWJWdIVF1
日頭高曬，和風徐徐，兩人也不覺得炎熱，一直向前走。不遠處有一座宅第，外圍種滿樹木作為圍牆。同有川本想繼續向前走去，給蕭邦阻止了。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI4KyjNuE7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnnhP3jksz
「我想到林中裡頭走走。」他道。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XqEImdxdY
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2agVAWrLSw
兩人繞過田畝，走入不遠處幽森森的林子。夏蟲唧唧，整個林內只聞得兩人的腳步聲。走沒多久，頭頂上的枝葉漸漸稀疏，太陽光灑入，她抬頭，輕聲說：「似乎快要走離樹林了。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjkH0iIUjz
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N13ewTHhP
他指向前方。「看來，樹林後頭，才是令人著迷的地方。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF644GcwNm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ270nuG0BAh
語剛落，一座寬闊的花園簾入兩人眼前。園內繁花似錦，綠草如茵，五彩繽紛的花朵芬芳誘人，四周蜂飛蝶舞。如此美不勝收的景象令同有川望得痴了。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hWVNPGasr
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUKli7JmDl
「弗雷德里克，這裡簡直是仙境。」她詫異道。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BivZAPBBc
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUlSqZqXY0
「很美，是嗎？」他重新牽起她的手，步入花園。「倘若妳喜歡，或許以後可以時常來。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnVjlYw1yn
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFz6SfgVX1
「不知道是誰在照顧這片花園……」她好奇張望一番。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj47KNGvy5N
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflNIFqdLb7
「不論是誰，對方都是個有心人。」他淡淡說。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZlMKc3qTu
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUgStps0ws
再入叢花深處，菌綠草地鋪上石磚，一路連至中央的白色小涼亭。顯然是為過路人而準備。亭子裡頭擺設一組桌椅，或許不久前才被擦拭過，純白的桌椅上頭一塵不染。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNJVBK02Ru
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwa0WaDobf
兩人互看一眼，不約而同地拉開椅子面對面而坐。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlqPgb783x
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS1NPiPUts
「有川，看著我。」他突然變得嚴肅，拉住她的手，緊緊把她的小手包裹住。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwrZeN4TB5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7eNPgWGWL
她不解抬眼，卻不敢嬉笑，凝視他認真的臉。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Uy9xVDWk
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jC4Of5JWI
他抿抿唇，猶豫數秒，慎重問：「我知道這裡不是妳的家鄉，我也知道妳會想回家，但是，請妳，留下來，好不好？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer5HaUAkF6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeyNakC0si
她嚇一跳。「你知道我從哪來嗎？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPFzBbrNNz
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXa460jBqb
「我知道。」他頷首。「很遠很遠的地方。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu21x1iNNf3
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89t1fQOBMu
「弗雷德里克……」她皺起眉頭，一咬牙，說：「不只很遠很遠，是無法觸及的地方。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuonshRZA9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz13IdYIym
「我知道、我知道。從我第一次失去妳的時候，我就知道。」蕭邦的額頭無力靠上兩人相握的手背，輕吐。「倘若命運之神使我們相遇，為什麼還要分開？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCKfvCHYiS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrqVWMuG2q
「弗雷德里克。」她淒淒看著他。「天下沒有不散的筵席。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jCwB51Vf0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6sto5CpmO
「是的，但是我衷心的祈求，這場相聚散場之時，會是妳我停止呼吸的那一刻。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj9VVzqg5l
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaN4CShIgQ
她嘆息，抽出被蕭邦緊握的手，輕撫上他的臉龐。「弗雷德里克，我在這裡，已經影響你的生活。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHuUsphX5U
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6yyU9KLJ9
「是的。」蕭邦的雙眼一沉。「是的，很大的影響，妳像一名傀儡師，而我是妳手底下的傀儡，被妳操縱我的喜怒哀樂。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs1XhZWY2i
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31wCNtkyI7
「弗雷德里克……」她咬緊下唇，眼神複雜交錯，心中掙扎一番，說道：「我還是得走，這裡不屬於我，總有一天我得走的。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3yQFgxlEr
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHnbOWkb4u
「是嗎？」蕭邦低吟。「我祈求、我挽留，一切的一切，我只是在尋問我的真愛，能不能與我攜手共度此生。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFD5Gdbnqy
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMRSxTY9CW
「……但願我可以。」想到分離，她痛苦閉上雙目。「我誠心祈望我可以。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxKKdT7Gy9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucLoIrMpky
「妳可以的──」他伸手抬起她的下顎，深深地道：「睜開眼睛，求妳。看見了嗎？妳看見我這雙充滿渴望的眼眸了嗎？它充滿盼望，充滿渴慕。有川，愛我的妳，請接受我的請求，不論未來如何，至少，我能夠確信，在我有生以來，美好的愛情曾經在我身上降臨。」說罷，他由口袋中掏出一枚純銀的戒指，捉起她的手，尋問的語氣帶著懇求。「我的愛，妳願意接受它嗎？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh65RUEK6M
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZCFoVWiaE
瞬間，薄薄的霧氣充斥於她眼前，用力眨了眨，鼻頭一陣酸楚。她知道自己沒辦法對他搖頭，於是慎重一點頭，心疼笑道：「我願意。弗雷德里克，當我面對真實的自己，我知道，這是我無法拒絕的請求。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnc5dqwGqt
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO8EyvA4vu
不論歷史如何被改寫，她只知道，她已經淪陷得無法自拔了。這一刻，望著無名指上的銀戒指，她選擇把曾經約束她的想法都拋開。她願意，不顧一切留在十九世紀。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1ykSsT8Th
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGCyoIZiBo
況且──64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPSodG41K2
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUKtlkuh9A
這個想法使她打個顫。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjFhjFLMGm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXRMWTVsr6
假如，她的存在能夠改變歷史，那麼是否，蕭邦三十九歲短暫的生命能夠被延長？64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UEqX4qpPU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjJkJTk562
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cVTWcQi1L
黃昏來臨，燒得火紅的太陽緩緩地沉入遠方的山巒。兩人相擁，十指緊扣著，面上掛著心酸又甜蜜的微笑。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3HCx6gLSY
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU9TkAkDyR
幸福該在不遠的前方──64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFibNFWhvT6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElaI7SmDSh
此時此刻，兩人如此堅信。不論離別的不安帶給他們多少心酸與傷感，都會遠去。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsldGoV4MvQ
