「許墨，你知道嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1qUZZSaoK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW0UjPvZE3
第一站——薩頓（Sutton）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcismjeRzK6
時間：第三年初，1月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggUIuKIacn
天氣：冬季，大雪封山48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tMtglKJpd
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lbbGEdlAI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAfdnzSh3f
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PFerjXH1R
「去哪？」計程車司機操著一口法語口音的英語問道。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEEAKMlf2q
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh8oDLSuIF
「薩頓。」許墨簡短地回答，將視線投向窗外的城市景色。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35yZ9d49TS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwjYCrAl5c
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaReYWUUD3q
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkk6MwyVBf
他依照蘇硯的行動模式，選擇這個地方作為第一站。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZeePEWbkd
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsJSa8wg1s
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUVSuYYvXd
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwjHKBa6aL
「先生，您是第一次來這裡嗎？」店員熱情地與他攀談。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqfPvZKLBU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxvNLJAkhw
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwancbHHOM
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAjuJ2DBtp
「是啊，我們這裡很多人來度假，還有些……來這裡散心的。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YCPgKrrdq
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi249xmy7TF
這句話讓許墨的視線微微一動。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddRfvjdpTo
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwnsdPVbbF
他輕聲問：「來這裡散心的人，會長住嗎？」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDjHrmLsrE
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RkUpUaDH1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEieSa54WFc
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjFzOBUJ4E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObrQBm67gS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXqSpWo1mN
「她沒有來過這裡。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAZNk0Db0s
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpkvsu9pGY
這是許墨的結論。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPHotjARWg
第二站——維多利亞海濱（Victoria-by-the-Sea）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByNpd5ez4t
時間：第三年初，3月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlSLHVFzr4
天氣：春寒，海風仍然帶著涼意48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xbcKPRaf2
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sjrPNSD8O
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOquPcHG07b
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug3Tcy7DkL
這是一個比薩頓更適合隱居的地方。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmqT9QlcOL
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Aa8iFTjc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjQO5gmtvT
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmSMVmIcsW
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkUAerymjx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5mhcVACgf
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzPzZXiS8y
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDYDS8E2aH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQtR2dtYDK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jlw4ThsS2
他在這裡停留了一週，卻依舊沒有微瀾的痕跡。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDWW9XQuCj
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vboSssbT0
第二次失敗，許墨卻沒有一絲焦躁。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIWmknQGLo
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaSo5Gvrde
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NzhKny8un
第三站——艾洛拉（Elora）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sBwg4nlga
時間：第三年中，7月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOotrMhUSv4
天氣：盛夏，綠意盎然的藝術小鎮48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuKUuW2wqp
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrVapFr8e2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpdnJM0b4d
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rkv3pl2bC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6URFJpdj1S
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasNaxyrVNm
他開始懷疑自己的方向是否正確。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqwtNTJ9iR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsgYC3j7bz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHC6uHbHeW
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1RHK71p0s
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPgBt0ldGz
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKbdVeNP6w
「安布羅斯鎮？」另一人疑惑，「沒聽過。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvRsPJSHSE
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CXSBN1YqT
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SenMJm7XY
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib6FNIXN29
許墨站在書架前，手指微微一頓。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxTbFqBXld
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN91oj0yTwq
——這個地方，他的名單上沒有。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX9YMutuxc
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiga531dYeW
「安布羅斯鎮。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNU4LYb6y1
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4abU8hqGY
他，終於接近了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdbGQWUaNz
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Q8muC09r
第四站——安布羅斯鎮（Ambrose）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPco5Bxv6qp
時間：三個月前，9月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ovTelbVB9
天氣：入秋，溫暖的微風48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uOlHI6ohK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsdaxABTSC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4bnq1KrFx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWEE6SYe6S
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSskCsxworh
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR9ErglSiS
他站在鎮中心的廣場上，深深吸了一口氣。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLKBC08bzu
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mi13LEL5s
這裡，幾乎沒有任何人注意到他的到來。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS34BzhWUkO
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fODFgNlWD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRHWRiisVA
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ1d6c079K
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58g4kGAa2X
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwcRZbGm3E
許墨站在門口，靜靜地看著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VAwSxJNUU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWP8y3yQBy
然後，他看見了她。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxVtJLWVsN
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIyjgA667x
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXsBehuqod
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29z0MD4mpb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKMlR3Snss
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk0gdU8U4v
他沒有立刻走進去。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeZmamsNYU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4cFJBuwBz
只是站在街角，看了很久。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6OOvtatQG
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEgqxjZPWD
那一天，許墨沒有進去找她。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN68tjoxZz
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9XWijopAy
他第一次，對於「見到她」這件事，產生了猶豫。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ndY8eH7s
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdY73zAOFI
——因為她的笑容，沒有他的影子。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoozkkNWeh
下個月，許墨再次造訪安布羅斯鎮。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRz3GrJGmB
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsUFXTeabl
他花了幾天，確認著微瀾的日常。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiixWSDSNR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhmZuNwYPM
每天早晨去圖書館，午後在咖啡館工作，晚上回家。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGKAUOXr0b
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT8M9EP0Xj
他觀察著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMphENNzQ7i
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIGlynJQRh
她仍然習慣用左手托著書頁，右手轉著咖啡匙。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmoz921Lp9
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFgmKMhCPF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsydk4ihq3
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TUi3Dxhwd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukUhjET3cy
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CwhGylN8j
重點是，這樣的微瀾……真的需要他嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5E5dLy1gr
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bO87kJcOh
或者，她其實早已學會了不需要他。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVA0JJGa5M
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7URGQA8Pjh
許墨站在遠處，手指輕輕收緊，眼神深邃而複雜。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX8nnnqlhO
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxXafqPTdB
他第一次，感受到某種從未體驗過的情緒——48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAfpalWx6o
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj0QbB2hqb
他輸給了時間。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSlDv4PZqM
