「許墨，你知道嗎？64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyvdzcLw3R
人一旦開始懷念過去，就很容易誤以為自己還活在過去。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6khFgL0NbE
第一站——薩頓（Sutton）64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQyXlXNfYf
時間：第三年初，1月64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg9QXcpay7
天氣：冬季，大雪封山64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV5RKaNxvK
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7PRuZKmqi
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNZZMbvRX1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6NcxV81on
「去哪？」計程車司機操著一口法語口音的英語問道。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7okvD4c2iM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyrEC1wFY5
「薩頓。」許墨簡短地回答，將視線投向窗外的城市景色。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob5lyozW7X
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ4JONDg0f
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrz305e6RO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl6JmjXXxT
他依照蘇硯的行動模式，選擇這個地方作為第一站。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25YQSUJLt9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8mAuC4BZi
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEmTJhprqT
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5bZyVMHkf
「先生，您是第一次來這裡嗎？」店員熱情地與他攀談。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOVeVZ9Ons
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvICTkIsvwa
「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。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeaEPZAlSZ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCaAzpYHUI
「是啊，我們這裡很多人來度假，還有些……來這裡散心的。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHBn47GFqi
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4daNKSkozK
這句話讓許墨的視線微微一動。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaZtgAxjzh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfC0Rutl72
他輕聲問：「來這裡散心的人，會長住嗎？」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNvW8y3KjB
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkU6CJ6iIp
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。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWHLh3b6YD
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FfTPfPnUY
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8mOP4MsHE
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q8YJtZR2b
「她沒有來過這裡。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZKPPxzxlw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJbwMEGVEK
這是許墨的結論。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4RbOn0s1p
第二站——維多利亞海濱（Victoria-by-the-Sea）64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeE6qAn7Wd
時間：第三年初，3月64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2y5IOhBM2
天氣：春寒，海風仍然帶著涼意64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE0hFdDiJj
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfBwTtgMTY
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCD1UP85qe
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt5QnFEPyN
這是一個比薩頓更適合隱居的地方。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHKy4N90gm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqNgP6hn4d
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QtReRFDZq
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XXPsRwlNc
「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。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanAM8r7SZe
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoUwzIN24d
「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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMtFd4rHLV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUCn2N5J3f
老闆想了想，搖頭道：「這裡有幾位作家，但沒有你說的那種。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjbt0wJT7E
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc7bIgM20G
他在這裡停留了一週，卻依舊沒有微瀾的痕跡。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLe5CzZ6G7
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6huuqrKT7O
第二次失敗，許墨卻沒有一絲焦躁。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAy84IVHP6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVVjYuJqtd
他知道，微瀾一定在某個地方，他只是還沒走到正確的路上。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdSCQJJZFA
第三站——艾洛拉（Elora）64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4CR2lvyfN
時間：第三年中，7月64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy5w54FTDu
天氣：盛夏，綠意盎然的藝術小鎮64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhHywbv3Nq
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwVJcPsMHj
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYjzn0WJBC
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSDI7YJZLa
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWsTPqxU9h
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiuc0udHu1
他開始懷疑自己的方向是否正確。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ODcX9JVT
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggZFYhy82u
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——64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7miiTjyR5
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsRk72uuQi
「聽說安布羅斯鎮那邊有個小小的咖啡館，挺有意思的。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EFESnzoGf
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqUgo6ZYqD
「安布羅斯鎮？」另一人疑惑，「沒聽過。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXre8mBFs1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCD14P9jPh
「超小的鎮，連地圖上都找不到，據說咖啡館裡有個亞洲女生……」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5xw0fhLVO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ubY49b73f
許墨站在書架前，手指微微一頓。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZMmQ2agog
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLosfqs4um
——這個地方，他的名單上沒有。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOWyEhuTYS
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mHyGNCZZP
「安布羅斯鎮。」64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq08Yq2VBm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg77BXLPGLP
他，終於接近了。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIn6EVTA4K
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QdHnm10Pu
第四站——安布羅斯鎮（Ambrose）64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGX4FVZpw8
時間：三個月前，9月64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8pTnRSy6Y
天氣：入秋，溫暖的微風64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5tgZ2bZ3C
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JwGTa6aMv
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq6HA9NJVz
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7GgIttu7c
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5vMQIQNyU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVrx5b8k2w
他站在鎮中心的廣場上，深深吸了一口氣。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJIkvZTtuo
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF1sNkscEg
這裡，幾乎沒有任何人注意到他的到來。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g5D9gIkGT
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKvWOCXyf8
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」。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4qbEoKyeC
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4nQKH9wrq
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jf4geGKrX
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8TRjUACrH
許墨站在門口，靜靜地看著。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzbQuTee7z
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkjvPHKogp
然後，他看見了她。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1AZCKtL5g
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBJ6T3ITo4
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。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsdAfGnBci
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplPNBMN6jX
她看起來，與他記憶中的微瀾一模一樣，卻又……完全不同。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLjPNPUO9i
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupMlyxKcSh
他沒有立刻走進去。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjzABeGMFM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyaM8X9rT6
只是站在街角，看了很久。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskK2Ggn4Ic
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuamFiwf0w
那一天，許墨沒有進去找她。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ohhnOwfFm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpoklRGEr4
他第一次，對於「見到她」這件事，產生了猶豫。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMYK9syNdL
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ESqU9iAx
——因為她的笑容，沒有他的影子。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2rLHtU1le
下個月，許墨再次造訪安布羅斯鎮。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbfPKgX8uN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYNaLbjI9f
他花了幾天，確認著微瀾的日常。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ozuTJwT85
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdylWKeHnU
每天早晨去圖書館，午後在咖啡館工作，晚上回家。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5JRfdjuQb
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM9qMeu9x2
他觀察著。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuptFbQznw
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKcqpdgdSB
她仍然習慣用左手托著書頁，右手轉著咖啡匙。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY7LGNUCCm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ1PiA3tci
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……64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKN3xjjVNH
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g2wAsCE01
她好像…挺好的？他也不確定……畢竟他只是遠遠的看著她。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc76aqjMlp
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu1IQxuBBx
重點是，這樣的微瀾……真的需要他嗎？64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGTuT3n78n
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddBqjwFeI9
或者，她其實早已學會了不需要他。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedBzewl1HN
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBh6w0k8nE
許墨站在遠處，手指輕輕收緊，眼神深邃而複雜。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LjuGTyTHI
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDRQWirOED
他第一次，感受到某種從未體驗過的情緒——64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVlKhFnTcc
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHfWM96WlG
他輸給了時間。64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvDGpIEs6V
