「許墨，你知道嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwVzY8TIfg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ygRGRi8C
第一站——薩頓（Sutton）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYXM5X1waw
時間：第三年初，1月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5VTwwHwIE
天氣：冬季，大雪封山48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgEZuxKnyM
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBejjqRMCtu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjj3b401IH
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM6hzhnUZr
「去哪？」計程車司機操著一口法語口音的英語問道。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4kHZXVfIf
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxMT3tpXUn
「薩頓。」許墨簡短地回答，將視線投向窗外的城市景色。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjagBeWvOL
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgFwhoSWtW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd9HrsFwvr
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErA7AqTCLk
他依照蘇硯的行動模式，選擇這個地方作為第一站。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ0OxKgYqQ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEO4hZyGLG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3imag9BVqM
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5wccscbM6
「先生，您是第一次來這裡嗎？」店員熱情地與他攀談。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuynVknrce
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvE4A8k1Vk
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGIDKyHLTk
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Wu1BqqP1
「是啊，我們這裡很多人來度假，還有些……來這裡散心的。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiWfqY8TSB
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gfAt5rMCT
這句話讓許墨的視線微微一動。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtLSECeQeZ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX16ZzIQXA
他輕聲問：「來這裡散心的人，會長住嗎？」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSWBvAuYpl
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa0PcydzUr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ZqIiWP0L
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9k2dK2z9m
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMhlieEsf9
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5saWpZczs
「她沒有來過這裡。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzahWRHThl
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk659p2IPL4
這是許墨的結論。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABYuB8BlPx
第二站——維多利亞海濱（Victoria-by-the-Sea）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQZ4T7TCGB
時間：第三年初，3月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzRDlTYKDZ
天氣：春寒，海風仍然帶著涼意48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrTqIqt8uq
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OK08PEvyM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5EI80WEzu
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbMwKdPAFH
這是一個比薩頓更適合隱居的地方。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5L8o6docS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUatEn88Be
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL35x77fA6Q
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmBVtGe8Ci
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v1w0mDTM7
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGFZmygv83
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc8NoqTeCx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qdvNJaywQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1HNVZOkgK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEbAWQGlcr
他在這裡停留了一週，卻依舊沒有微瀾的痕跡。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWFOrNzLxd
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvPhyv4BJ1
第二次失敗，許墨卻沒有一絲焦躁。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dgZDWkz6v
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNOXosKybV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM52rF74ts
第三站——艾洛拉（Elora）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZZtCjE5dg
時間：第三年中，7月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw3ZycGtEe
天氣：盛夏，綠意盎然的藝術小鎮48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3VJftwBqC
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2oLk1qrf3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bOT9MpGen
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHnl2aaek4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpblsHypH2
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuatWcTGcv
他開始懷疑自己的方向是否正確。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQhpIyzAR0
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr67ifV0yI4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwH2Xy7EKK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppYkK6gGN8
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHMMS202uj
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjT4dPxMCW
「安布羅斯鎮？」另一人疑惑，「沒聽過。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpLw8Da9fn
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWWmaqDmUF
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VuQiJ98Zb
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6XK37Xmzd
許墨站在書架前，手指微微一頓。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv1s6oChBN
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpwf1rCyIu
——這個地方，他的名單上沒有。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBpR8wL5SL
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMip6oc3Yi7
「安布羅斯鎮。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbti3c2Quc
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtgtdl5sAo
他，終於接近了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFEUKyjMuM
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N7cOxD5y7
第四站——安布羅斯鎮（Ambrose）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6U4DBTrQb
時間：三個月前，9月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JrcqXZniZ
天氣：入秋，溫暖的微風48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyi0k3L80c
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj52jVn3dAe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPX7aSpAkH
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUHFHkdkvM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOZbZQaxoV
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyJhcGVJjD
他站在鎮中心的廣場上，深深吸了一口氣。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu1KQ7d5Wg
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3pYMZnYp6
這裡，幾乎沒有任何人注意到他的到來。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE8n0O8V2K
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjEKMQSBzX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTvOffvT4z
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O8LWTX8YK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zqygVJf5F
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvyp5j2ZTC
許墨站在門口，靜靜地看著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqKqtY4amh
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3X9p3fnRE
然後，他看見了她。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ463ZVdrnRt
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFYOuegMbc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPQmmkd9oo
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETkEcLn9ix
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNnDaaShtv
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5N0m0soQW
他沒有立刻走進去。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrxE2X23Mj
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdvTNgaunZ
只是站在街角，看了很久。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Hfza3Wmz
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZRTXgl7wJ
那一天，許墨沒有進去找她。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshpSCM9Zbl
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx2FwtwMqu
他第一次，對於「見到她」這件事，產生了猶豫。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa6SqTst51
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpGm1SlDct
——因為她的笑容，沒有他的影子。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub1kK8nJqL
下個月，許墨再次造訪安布羅斯鎮。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlwCiwIvhI
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJFO2qw3gh
他花了幾天，確認著微瀾的日常。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaLRqaVbDj
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjpPA3VmBg
每天早晨去圖書館，午後在咖啡館工作，晚上回家。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhJqpMsI2r
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ5ds29P0O
他觀察著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHVHNNVnfQ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYMYdNhRMn
她仍然習慣用左手托著書頁，右手轉著咖啡匙。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIri9xDZ18j
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm50pj4vPa5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg343c8lMB
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOebzR2NTD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7eoodFJOr
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKOQEcQ6ze
重點是，這樣的微瀾……真的需要他嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZU9J4mggP
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVBc3wHq5J
或者，她其實早已學會了不需要他。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlqIAibXRU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKaDWSCSnY
許墨站在遠處，手指輕輕收緊，眼神深邃而複雜。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfoEGuEPN8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyKOe7NNBd
他第一次，感受到某種從未體驗過的情緒——48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIrvIX64oR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxaeexjAmQ
他輸給了時間。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDFhGpTWFT
