「許墨，你知道嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI4wgUgWTg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7SErnH1a8
第一站——薩頓（Sutton）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpaFDKkhWS
時間：第三年初，1月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM7MZlCKEQ
天氣：冬季，大雪封山48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJTi9Nb2Kh
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuhZclRqgF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc4CWxpl1m
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Efd6sD4al
「去哪？」計程車司機操著一口法語口音的英語問道。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqrumNu8EV
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87mclkRwmo
「薩頓。」許墨簡短地回答，將視線投向窗外的城市景色。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2NwtVa0Fm
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVn2bdaUKd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEF4jfaeFu
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTNyGlVEAn
他依照蘇硯的行動模式，選擇這個地方作為第一站。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxNZDvMkUi
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMPbnyLyVO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ4rgHen3t
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Ut9IueSO
「先生，您是第一次來這裡嗎？」店員熱情地與他攀談。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM61nNcstd7
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡontVUluo6G
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ObItKXPE
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKEssJttTv
「是啊，我們這裡很多人來度假，還有些……來這裡散心的。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNU4O8kHLK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9mXinKepX
這句話讓許墨的視線微微一動。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKsamsvofN
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor9K5g6rIK
他輕聲問：「來這裡散心的人，會長住嗎？」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilcvExGZqm
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SmXUKynT7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8KdUnEkdJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwWV5BwIKh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0YI2kcoIe
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLgc70v25E
「她沒有來過這裡。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH9HEA5Fc6
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyf7nH5Bfz
這是許墨的結論。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAArVmC7Ean
第二站——維多利亞海濱（Victoria-by-the-Sea）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHjul1buud
時間：第三年初，3月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWgaEPeofH
天氣：春寒，海風仍然帶著涼意48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiNafGWFr6
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkHHw4Z0Ia
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhChHdLrjmo
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4wJkZ462J
這是一個比薩頓更適合隱居的地方。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmboO7VTVVx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohQsXsf6N1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYZQzoT0vc
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWdKVHnmTz
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElpe8JWxKJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rBNcX7Wmh
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYz595nukB
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8mFsZzu4G
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdDIGSMR0t
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyFniAnkMt
他在這裡停留了一週，卻依舊沒有微瀾的痕跡。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqmrEXacx0
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl2FYgRL6a
第二次失敗，許墨卻沒有一絲焦躁。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7RjQaJeeh
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyRJ64ILss
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz6kQznBX6
第三站——艾洛拉（Elora）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I5oUN9Bh8
時間：第三年中，7月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzkFW63s86
天氣：盛夏，綠意盎然的藝術小鎮48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1lQGeunOp
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACEjG89HzN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3gOidsy2j
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wLIY3ndpy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaw4O103gH
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIcuAcfkSs
他開始懷疑自己的方向是否正確。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzl326Ot3i
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zvbc2bIpC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGuidfiFLo
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCgC7s0ALy
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjsOTFh7FG
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk2wZQkkCs
「安布羅斯鎮？」另一人疑惑，「沒聽過。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiG39jxFot
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z2oHy3drw
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp2rtsg7BJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f2KAs9nWg
許墨站在書架前，手指微微一頓。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRqrvYtsuT
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A4L3TNLFr
——這個地方，他的名單上沒有。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Apd6tmxQ4
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwQCxrHEGz
「安布羅斯鎮。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbtFgomvLz
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsdIL0PlP8
他，終於接近了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcHmKV0ko5
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlZR9YR11G
第四站——安布羅斯鎮（Ambrose）48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP23ARiLMar
時間：三個月前，9月48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphl6tLXJxm
天氣：入秋，溫暖的微風48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsT4kI9riV
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt6AA8Wbs2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHqqZxfIAa
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsIP2y0zVx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsilEcUC4x
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBMjXTVly5
他站在鎮中心的廣場上，深深吸了一口氣。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucGkcSXunm
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS46RcwPw7f
這裡，幾乎沒有任何人注意到他的到來。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscNz0bfeIZ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsynznDCjRV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLee9Q6jBTf
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WPBPLiyhL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPIdonQVaK
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDxolUHxsK
許墨站在門口，靜靜地看著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3qLKdrQDA
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9on4F5Plv
然後，他看見了她。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1gGsXAIZg
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHwVfIhFAs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw6QsNSR3M
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63YrutQoEg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzgVM98f4y
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4DbP9nLpl
他沒有立刻走進去。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhHbORTNPw
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasCO5XXTpY
只是站在街角，看了很久。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoTT7z2u87
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aSbAPwyAL
那一天，許墨沒有進去找她。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMIOtNr5dx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXygC5llbTA
他第一次，對於「見到她」這件事，產生了猶豫。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDjGV9DWyU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh1jTHYBfN
——因為她的笑容，沒有他的影子。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9exQsepYGb
下個月，許墨再次造訪安布羅斯鎮。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEM4rG910k
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL20nzyzvf
他花了幾天，確認著微瀾的日常。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1BckBjDmM
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZRVOdfCRH
每天早晨去圖書館，午後在咖啡館工作，晚上回家。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhNM637isY
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6pHtOAmf5
他觀察著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRhhdhvtsR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthwEvQl0Yh
她仍然習慣用左手托著書頁，右手轉著咖啡匙。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt1slNhUpX
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnplY4RIGN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWCnMWXCQR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACSOBe939K
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ098D3Vp3Xe
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjyRdMsDeR
重點是，這樣的微瀾……真的需要他嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctdGRsLR1v
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYxRw0gRb7
或者，她其實早已學會了不需要他。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaZ765hZZR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooXXZC7jJv
許墨站在遠處，手指輕輕收緊，眼神深邃而複雜。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDUlj4dMit
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10x9gmqNSL
他第一次，感受到某種從未體驗過的情緒——48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sC7LkP9I8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggfbxggi5e
他輸給了時間。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieKmva6NQB
