「許墨，你知道嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj76jGpi9Q
人一旦開始懷念過去，就很容易誤以為自己還活在過去。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ow2LWnw2u
第一站——薩頓（Sutton）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSHZzyYaBR
時間：第三年初，1月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnBI3NIuRZ
天氣：冬季，大雪封山48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgmZYEtOgT
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RbHYIoHDe
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXP1uDcQI1
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc61GUif5T8
「去哪？」計程車司機操著一口法語口音的英語問道。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUM40JgdxW
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPCOe0m7Wt
「薩頓。」許墨簡短地回答，將視線投向窗外的城市景色。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DfESkFwLx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU4xkKtrl3
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlXb1Wh19l
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHbz3SAk7e
他依照蘇硯的行動模式，選擇這個地方作為第一站。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNJKwVaw62
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f9mAwtxkL
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0arGlkLAt
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFfzIRFXLx
「先生，您是第一次來這裡嗎？」店員熱情地與他攀談。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSKc1idv3P
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h2hlbVOig
「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。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeTiJaWB3s
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLwX5AgQ54
「是啊，我們這裡很多人來度假，還有些……來這裡散心的。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8INYwxBtAi
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwwDzmJsct
這句話讓許墨的視線微微一動。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLZh959nXS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r1VvzIqrq
他輕聲問：「來這裡散心的人，會長住嗎？」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen4JiOlAyb
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLTkYztPxu
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。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHyavX8LJM
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrzHOyUtOW
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYOYgBrA1T
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GW1Hmaf93
「她沒有來過這裡。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprwsRuggf1
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnldQT7hrQN
這是許墨的結論。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaTFd9LMwX
第二站——維多利亞海濱（Victoria-by-the-Sea）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzpTPTlbNo
時間：第三年初，3月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLZUpbPSou
天氣：春寒，海風仍然帶著涼意48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vLr61fg0N
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXP5iE5HK0
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ4oizoJdN
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MBP0CvW7X
這是一個比薩頓更適合隱居的地方。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWDoX7HKoR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFafCTLamg2
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjI8gNw1p6
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsi1SPEBk9
「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。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisBmNiydR1
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6d8c8SZVb
「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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwycXjaYWb
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoTvh62xcr
老闆想了想，搖頭道：「這裡有幾位作家，但沒有你說的那種。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO48GvOoKAV
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSWHKRudNV
他在這裡停留了一週，卻依舊沒有微瀾的痕跡。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlHsfryEYD
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEinv7jSoOu
第二次失敗，許墨卻沒有一絲焦躁。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ZP7BgJ8P
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLcE2cHbbM
他知道，微瀾一定在某個地方，他只是還沒走到正確的路上。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJes7nWeyOt
第三站——艾洛拉（Elora）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxk1sVapcI
時間：第三年中，7月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZNQdG1WcH
天氣：盛夏，綠意盎然的藝術小鎮48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5EWr5RQPL
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QjN2lW1Ld
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFl3Z5r1KF
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cuwO5WryX
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSTSGfTson
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYpblbukow
他開始懷疑自己的方向是否正確。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr8SFiD5ah
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17x11bTxla
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——48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0wr8e5bjl
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv7QkGxwJF
「聽說安布羅斯鎮那邊有個小小的咖啡館，挺有意思的。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR6aBTGrvh
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvDne0C70t
「安布羅斯鎮？」另一人疑惑，「沒聽過。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYVEun0Dva
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5YZWOQwGS
「超小的鎮，連地圖上都找不到，據說咖啡館裡有個亞洲女生……」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWOte7kO0m
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9pWwv9nZz
許墨站在書架前，手指微微一頓。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYwJeqnkrv
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvKoeSTC5e
——這個地方，他的名單上沒有。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7zh883kzy
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk7rWkNaiE
「安布羅斯鎮。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZpScDyEDF
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Psd83Oj5
他，終於接近了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpGe1xNlh9
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4QiB0if2k
第四站——安布羅斯鎮（Ambrose）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5fsbWYol1
時間：三個月前，9月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fXhdzmzUG
天氣：入秋，溫暖的微風48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7jvg2HpCS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6otzyT2X1w
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuKT7lLALZ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZnAh0P6Nm
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXupfiiAnX
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVFY0OlAs8
他站在鎮中心的廣場上，深深吸了一口氣。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyqR9d1kEY
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDNuNVfjLF
這裡，幾乎沒有任何人注意到他的到來。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY3whbBeow
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZVoxMbUqu
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」。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb7z9iqefN
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cZIM4J5Uu
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkvvptnkvy
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev2lJ2YLBG
許墨站在門口，靜靜地看著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm2e8yJhGp
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJZd96qjFM
然後，他看見了她。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa91HPRjT7
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QNBmdOTC5
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。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH6lweL1Ym
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQTCrKTWcU
她看起來，與他記憶中的微瀾一模一樣，卻又……完全不同。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDgFkSzUcU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxQf6w4K5J
他沒有立刻走進去。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN61MqBygZk
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthrA2cfC1I
只是站在街角，看了很久。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerfspM7ASQ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefOagQaRGN
那一天，許墨沒有進去找她。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGckckZzkiU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vQY7Zqmwx
他第一次，對於「見到她」這件事，產生了猶豫。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP2Rb12rTW
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf7K0ENGoP
——因為她的笑容，沒有他的影子。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjFUCJzopN
下個月，許墨再次造訪安布羅斯鎮。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmbhweprKU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5z0B82jpX
他花了幾天，確認著微瀾的日常。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcutFSXIMMb
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkirVGza8P
每天早晨去圖書館，午後在咖啡館工作，晚上回家。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo7tB8N0yg
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7f2eQrPpi
他觀察著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaru1TuhB6i
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nNqh8rCrd
她仍然習慣用左手托著書頁，右手轉著咖啡匙。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLR552WCH0
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKBOdIzlkR
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……48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAAQOvkELT
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QW8yO2HvP
她好像…挺好的？他也不確定……畢竟他只是遠遠的看著她。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBONoAPesw
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJZ1mCvTF
重點是，這樣的微瀾……真的需要他嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb9qhdi6bb
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yxSkFjQrB
或者，她其實早已學會了不需要他。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNhhK2HCDC
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4seADJx8Ro
許墨站在遠處，手指輕輕收緊，眼神深邃而複雜。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdRvBIuCNo
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPlcnmicDX
他第一次，感受到某種從未體驗過的情緒——48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgR7k5LYAs
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7c3cRdvWu
他輸給了時間。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinxJIrmd90
