「許墨，你知道嗎？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAglzPjNtG
人一旦開始懷念過去，就很容易誤以為自己還活在過去。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hRwKAeO7f
第一站——薩頓（Sutton）32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnXm9ac7iv
時間：第三年初，1月32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVAzW9lyTl
天氣：冬季，大雪封山32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNHNsEX18W
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjD6iZNS3q
飛機降落在蒙特婁機場時，城市仍籠罩在寒冷的冬霧中。許墨穿著深色長風衣，拎著行李走入機場外的計程車站。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADwfHV8mvg
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLAkF2CnGg
「去哪？」計程車司機操著一口法語口音的英語問道。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYd5dzebYj
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2mzx0tduy
「薩頓。」許墨簡短地回答，將視線投向窗外的城市景色。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDdFVULmke
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UOsceNayl
這座城鎮遠離繁華，靜謐而低調。白雪覆蓋了山坡，薩頓小鎮的街道上行人寥寥，木製的咖啡館與舊書店沿著主街一字排開。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbM3iUfHfw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskPepPQVRV
他依照蘇硯的行動模式，選擇這個地方作為第一站。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxXACA963j
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrdB4QiYUC
在鎮上的一家小咖啡館，他點了一杯黑咖啡，隨意地打開筆電，觀察周遭的動靜。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro6M0TLHDf
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BGB8rJ5pq
「先生，您是第一次來這裡嗎？」店員熱情地與他攀談。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWxz2aphBb
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx5PnwGNMY
「是。」許墨語氣溫和，指尖敲著咖啡杯沿，「這裡很安靜，很適合休息。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbDqYZXVF6
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0sxd4fJyw
「是啊，我們這裡很多人來度假，還有些……來這裡散心的。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiVkF106u7
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVYo4RZJPu
這句話讓許墨的視線微微一動。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrffCkxdIrb
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAka2SuFQF
他輕聲問：「來這裡散心的人，會長住嗎？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk5chu9IwA
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H2tItgU2Y
店員笑了笑：「偶爾有，但大多待幾個月就走了，畢竟這裡冬天太冷，不適合長住。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Y87cqmab
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LkfPEZHaP
他在薩頓待了幾天，詢問了幾個店家，沒有任何關於微瀾的線索。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN1OsWGRqP
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceqalUSvv4
「她沒有來過這裡。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Ajmgj3GP
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENagBxQrBv
這是許墨的結論。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t4GXlu9oq
第二站——維多利亞海濱（Victoria-by-the-Sea）32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehcqReVQgE
時間：第三年初，3月32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiQsZUzpRl
天氣：春寒，海風仍然帶著涼意32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1gcsQIq7P
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a9YxPujRI
維多利亞海濱位於愛德華王子島，與薩頓完全不同，這裡的風景充滿海洋氣息。許墨抵達時，海岸邊仍有些許殘雪，咖啡館與書店依舊營業，但遊客不多。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ6KEymuDM
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTdeRt4kgq
這是一個比薩頓更適合隱居的地方。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0zHqFP2bf
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqDaXINAYs
他沿著海濱散步，進入鎮上的幾家店鋪，詢問是否有亞洲面孔的女性曾在這裡長住。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvzYL1r6JM
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJeJPSGd6O
「亞洲女孩？」當地的一位旅店老闆聳聳肩，「這裡有，但大多是短暫停留的旅客。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7cxlxIPvU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZFKKfGUQP
「她或許是個作家，或者……畫家。」許墨的語氣輕描淡寫，試圖引導對方提供更多訊息。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt68ByPUYwl
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg3vcnOePs
老闆想了想，搖頭道：「這裡有幾位作家，但沒有你說的那種。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kp9uUR7FW
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vkCQBoEaM
他在這裡停留了一週，卻依舊沒有微瀾的痕跡。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDDkmCSzt6
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJk6T2ybNS
第二次失敗，許墨卻沒有一絲焦躁。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwnYJ9Z4Pz
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsDga8wRJZ
他知道，微瀾一定在某個地方，他只是還沒走到正確的路上。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3klkZOm8U
第三站——艾洛拉（Elora）32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy6dBHsrmp
時間：第三年中，7月32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqMrjpG6Kx
天氣：盛夏，綠意盎然的藝術小鎮32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H20tM4wPo
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvzp1vzz7K
艾洛拉以藝術家村聞名，擁有眾多手工藝店與咖啡館。這裡更符合微瀾的風格，她或許會選擇這樣的地方，尋找新的生活方式。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYKxBFlRYn
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhXKa4tL4q
這一次，許墨在這裡住了半個月，走遍了鎮上的藝術市集，甚至參加了幾場畫展，但仍然沒有微瀾的身影。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBIcGq5E2F
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bLD0X9DSq
他開始懷疑自己的方向是否正確。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNi9vYjR4U
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PntClMFfk
然而，就在他準備離開時，他在一家小書店中，聽見了一個有趣的談話——32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwriCSg2fxn
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0b51iTRu3
「聽說安布羅斯鎮那邊有個小小的咖啡館，挺有意思的。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYe98HH7rT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3j5xhkT6i
「安布羅斯鎮？」另一人疑惑，「沒聽過。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSH5t0sS8D
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEKsJC8H6n
「超小的鎮，連地圖上都找不到，據說咖啡館裡有個亞洲女生……」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PywagQg3D
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1NGSsGzTH
許墨站在書架前，手指微微一頓。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5L3OQaBUq
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxURtM3wYr
——這個地方，他的名單上沒有。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkDZeu89NT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY7ZW0X4HR
「安布羅斯鎮。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEE1QxBxFJ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhUX06nv4K
他，終於接近了。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kuh1U59Da
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfMzNhVsAg
第四站——安布羅斯鎮（Ambrose）32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS4JiiqWv5
時間：三個月前，9月32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpU3GxHuVG
天氣：入秋，溫暖的微風32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzfNUAX6kU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6tTHGGoTc
當許墨抵達這個幾乎無法在地圖上找到的小鎮時，他才真正理解這裡為何適合隱居。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9SerjtPVk
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY0I8puDvD
寧靜、與世無爭，連鎮上最熱鬧的地方也只是幾家雜貨店與一家小型書店。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yHz6lqnyK
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m3fOAaOWP
他站在鎮中心的廣場上，深深吸了一口氣。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtfrkiQXuX
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsWml9f2QW
這裡，幾乎沒有任何人注意到他的到來。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjkgeoygAy
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWds263BzN
他開始走訪鎮上的店家，最後，在鎮尾的街角，他看見了一家極為低調的咖啡館——「Luna」。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGVpV3fBhL
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQTe0RstTI
木製的小招牌掛在門口，玻璃窗上透出溫暖的燈光，裡面只有幾位客人坐在角落，看書、喝咖啡。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ooASOISW7
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ZsC8TOTv
許墨站在門口，靜靜地看著。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kM2VE0q5N
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sHQ7GexiA
然後，他看見了她。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfbMz5Si19
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5hWsMCtEG
微瀾穿著米色的毛衣，站在櫃檯後面，熟練地為客人沖泡咖啡。她的長髮輕輕垂落，眼神溫柔，臉上帶著淡淡的笑意。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XTDXXqO6F
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6i9L5DaYC
她看起來，與他記憶中的微瀾一模一樣，卻又……完全不同。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7jAyrmNhh
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJwAceU23u
他沒有立刻走進去。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9FUTPcUYi
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkNJRSxilZ
只是站在街角，看了很久。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl74xgb73LZ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BKPmLpJAs
那一天，許墨沒有進去找她。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFPNSROJsV
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtQp7N3sZY
他第一次，對於「見到她」這件事，產生了猶豫。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UsMZTQ4xD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvFPOW3Gzo
——因為她的笑容，沒有他的影子。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP1yqOuOQ3
下個月，許墨再次造訪安布羅斯鎮。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofv7zFJ0rj
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wsYTDedxu
他花了幾天，確認著微瀾的日常。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNlKd0hQLR
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqawRrk3jO
每天早晨去圖書館，午後在咖啡館工作，晚上回家。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtND5M66oDV
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAJ0OgE47u
他觀察著。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKntBGIy56
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJejIZFSVMs
她仍然習慣用左手托著書頁，右手轉著咖啡匙。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLSdAk43k8
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gt21l5afV
她偶爾會在發呆時輕輕摩擦無名指的位置，像是在習慣性地碰觸某個曾經存在的指環……32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdSsRlB9OT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIYCrFNpIY
她好像…挺好的？他也不確定……畢竟他只是遠遠的看著她。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkKFJnPC5H
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV76tglT8qH
重點是，這樣的微瀾……真的需要他嗎？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TCtNNmwVt
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkrIXoPTEk
或者，她其實早已學會了不需要他。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyxvftb9A8
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3g1DLjd7S
許墨站在遠處，手指輕輕收緊，眼神深邃而複雜。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmCnqaZWjO
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvoW8hErfH
他第一次，感受到某種從未體驗過的情緒——32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzKFXJPGcR
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wDfRJOHug
他輸給了時間。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YckeSbXnJ
