同有川暗暗感到有趣，德爵先生那兩撮鬍子使她想起她家附近水果店的老闆，也是喜歡在說話時不停摸鬍子。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2KSWy2ayq
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKWgBPFR0T
德爵先生是名大提琴手，被多華頓公爵雇用，當公爵家中開宴會時，德爵先生會前去替晚宴帶來音樂。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKt4hRnW5f
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXkzjZTg7E
「我的丈夫與弗雷德里克曾經是極熟絡的朋友。」德爵女士說，卻不多解釋。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZoUh4FJGP
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqk5aycS6U
曾經？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk34u3ayhSE
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQw8DTWqNW
歪歪頭，同有川對她的話感到費解。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEaFV5k19S
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWALdBR7jvA
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr4WGAiF6k
過了一個月，同有川對自己的處境感到越來越真實，漸漸地，她對這不可思議的時空移動從迷惑變相信，相信變接受，也在德爵女士的帶領下慢慢熟悉了環境。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTfwbp6SGw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOfHU9dteN
好幾次，她怕麻煩德爵夫婦，於是提出找份工作、搬出去住的要求，但是，這個話題都給德爵女士輕輕帶過去。「外頭險惡的世界不適合妳。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVUlknuiXc
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKumWKMyYF
同有川當然不接受這種說法，時不時又會把搬出去的要求提出。最後，德爵女士通融：「要不，每日早晨，妳幫我去買食材？──倘若妳為住在這裡卻毫無辛勞感到愧疚的話。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSoWolmysV
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTK221ELJy
那日起，同有川開始「工作」。早晨上街替德爵女士採購今日的午餐、晚餐以及隔日早餐的食材。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTCI3Jf0hi
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ819sePREHG
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1wwF5YDYU
儘管已經接受發生在她身上的奇遇，她還是常常對回到十九世紀的巴黎感到不可思議，尤其，她還碰著歷史上著名音樂家──弗雷德里克‧弗朗索瓦‧蕭邦。她不論怎麼想都覺得是作夢才會發生的情結。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAYH9Z3v8R
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TnI1wNFgN
對她來說，蕭邦是個遙遠而不可及，甚至有些不真實的人。自從開始學琴，她聽過無數蕭邦的曲子與蕭邦的故事，現在，蕭邦卻活生生地出現在她面前，與她互動、談話，正如同故事書中的人物活過來一般。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza9CpzjD80
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvBznKgu7B
人生地不熟的她，在巴黎的生活除了上街買食材，就是成天待在房內，透過窗看著街上來來去去的行人，有時候睡前祈禱隔天醒來，這段漫長的「夢」也跟著消失，然後發現自己其實一直躺在旅館床上。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAEjth5u6N
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8vYbwy3yv
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda27QD5zyp
一日午後，當同有川又坐在床上發愣，急促的叩門聲突然響起，她嚇一大跳，連忙道：「請進。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w1InOzkdU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWvlhVXSF2
來者是拿著信封的德爵女士，眉開眼笑地將信件遞給同有川，解釋：「弗雷德里克送來給妳的信。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn9lgXZi8D
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2aMbjyRxw
「有什麼事情嗎？」她驚訝接過信，想不到蕭邦會有什麼事找她。疑惑拆開信封，落出張信紙。上頭筆跡潦草，其中好幾個詞都用圈圈含糊帶過。她困惑望向德爵女士。「上頭寫什麼？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ82QN5KYA
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWZjF0yB6G
德爵女士接過信紙，看一眼，咕噥：「弗雷德里克的拼字仍舊沒有進步。」她研究半晌，大聲唸出信上的內容：32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQydeGQdp0n
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MZol8YTVX
致德爵夫婦與同小姐，32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxHdBbFDkQ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hw0XLsrNL
冬天的尾巴漸漸縮起來，看看窗外又長出茂葉的大樹與清朗的天空。巴黎，變得像花枝招展的小姑娘，穿上她漂亮的衣裳，等待人們看看她。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDDRiKIhEC
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHQmKFP2Nx
同小姐初到巴黎，何不出去走走？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2FA5pFArZ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIdzMObFkx
「妳說呢？」唸完信，德爵女士微微一笑。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYshn4HOzgB
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P8mj2op2u
「為什麼……蕭邦先生為什麼要邀請我？」同有川更摸不著頭緒。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW6etNeNVI
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW61pyPU1a
德爵女士一聳肩，細心折起信紙，放回信封內。「或許是對新朋友的好意，春天是個適合出遊的季節。妳該答應的，我等等替妳回覆他。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b1EARFou3
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35VSBvoWL2
說完，不待同有川回應，德爵女士快速轉身走下樓。等同有川發覺時，她已能從窗戶看見德爵女士穿著外出服，走在小巷中的身影。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RdQlkXyOX
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWej8EeO2a
雖然不明白蕭邦的用意，她的心裡倒是為他的邀約感到高興。和名音樂家出遊，是多麼光榮的事？或許這是發生在她身上最美好的經歷。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB01eTF089
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iyAcDt4Rm
重重地跌回床上，她闔起眼，黑暗間，那抹神祕又詭異的人影竟然又出現了！只是，這一次，他的模樣比過去清晰許多。意外地，人影模糊不清的輪廓讓她感到一陣熟悉，正想看個仔細，意識卻漸漸朦朧起來…….32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpUcZj6YNV
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEndE8NWaC
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ygumnz9W
再度清醒，天色已完全暗下，德爵女士的叫喚自樓下傳來，告訴她晚餐準備好了。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRyi7Xom4t
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk1uFr1MCb
同有川坐起身，後腦一陣暈眩，差點沒跌回枕上。她抹抹臉，步下樓到飯廳，德爵夫婦已經在餐桌邊等她。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBGXZxiHOU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy4EVQ4XuX
「抱歉，久等了。剛才我睡著了。」她歉然道。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsedk3l4wND
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUSfZi3849
「想必大家都餓了，快吃吧！」德爵女士熱情捏一塊麵包入她的盤中。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzoEIRkOu1
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyafJn2s9t
餐桌上一如往常安靜，她喝著口味不習慣的肉湯，懷念家鄉的食物，突然聽見德爵女士開口道：「適才，我去弗雷德里克家了。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4XxhczEkT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgUyNhhrII
「哦？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4rMvubdD1
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwCK3voZ3B
「我與他約明日一同出遊──正好愛德華這段時間也沒有工作。是吧？愛德華。」她向沉默不語的德爵先生看一眼，見他毫無反應，繼續對同有川說：「或許，可以到郊區的別莊住幾日？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQvU6Atirs
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPsDn2wtRw
瞪大雙眼，她驚訝一嘆：「郊外的別莊？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCkxaG7wtv
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6GXwIxbyb
「是啊，我們每年盛夏會到別莊去避暑。」德爵女士笑著解釋：「今年去過春吧。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFeB0bqXPQ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGik6zySu0d
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUqver6QYq
隔日早晨，熟睡的同有川被德爵女士喚醒，同有川睡眼惺忪爬起身，望望窗外──天色剛濛濛亮。沒有了手錶，她預估現在或許才清晨六點。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoarrznxRFO
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqU4toJswQ
到樓下，她意外見到蕭邦已精神奕奕坐在客廳等候。微微一笑，她主動和他打招呼。幾日不見，他清瘦的臉龐多了些紅潤。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvaApJREwg
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg5UGklhF3
「還習慣巴黎的氣候嗎？」他關心問。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NaoLOUhJ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7nhCktHsG
「是的。這裡很好，和我的家鄉比起來的話。」同有川坐到他身旁，客氣點頭道。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZmrS7es9K
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKnW57Dzjn
見她態度生疏，蕭邦的眼神立即黯淡下來，下一秒，卻不著痕跡地恢復先前的神采。「同小姐，想聽我彈鋼琴嗎？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlv4CTfbL7
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8P7vN1Zzu
同有川愣一下，點首。「我能夠想像，你的琴藝肯定會令我驚嘆不已。如果有這個榮幸，當然想聽聽你奏曲。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcYyukIuQn
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMWP7DkctT
「是嗎？」他露出靦腆的微笑。「或許，琴聲會讓妳憶起什麼。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCrNwP1mGl
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVAIg5x2lu
「例如？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEbQGnxFrq
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HyqNJsaH6
「例如──」他頓了頓。「初戀的滋味。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz5ZmvGdrL
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurYdkQ5GL9
「初戀？」同有川好玩地笑起來。「我倒還沒嚐過初戀是什麼滋味呢。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH8FGQOh67
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kf50LoOxI
「我只是舉個例子。」蕭邦垂下頭，啞然失笑。「我記得別莊裡頭有一座鋼琴。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmMCV0R006
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf1VpsDclm
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaN9ZNe52M
清晨的巴黎街頭清冷，薄薄的霧氣瀰漫於冷空氣中，建築被籠罩在白霧下，變得朦朦朧朧，像一座夢幻的「霧都」。同有川不禁著迷地欣賞著窗外景色。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFYAJwzF6Y
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYds5wkL0yc
「沒想到，巴黎的早晨可以如此得美。」她情不自禁對著身旁的蕭邦道。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOswFIQY2x4
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXKsSC7DPs
「巴黎，就像美麗的女人，不論黎明或者夜晚都有不同讓人驚艷的面貌。」蕭邦邊說，邊伸手指沿途經過的景致，一一向她介紹不同街道的名稱。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxiDfePCYw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YEXJNS0cO
隨著蕭邦的介紹，同有川霎時感慨萬分：僅僅經歷過兩百年的時光，整座城市的風貌就完全不一樣了。她試著從眼前的城市尋找二十一世紀的痕跡，卻發覺只是徒勞，兩百年後，巴黎已是截然不同的城市。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjAxCuSJPF
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI62LgNJhWK
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtu9ys04wM
抵達別莊時是黃昏，漆成乳白色的屋子被夕陽照映得金黃。這棟獨自座落於森林深處的宅第在斜陽的照射下顯得格外孤寂。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh8ClmxQPD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQg422qG6K
四人來到大門口，白色牆壁上蒙著一層灰，他們抬頭一撇，屋簷下竟結滿蜘蛛網。德爵女士皺眉，低聲咕噥幾句，用鑰匙扭開門，屋內，卻整齊得像剛剛才被打掃過。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DEq1p8bhW
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp7mkwt9pG
張望一番，德爵女士解釋：「由於一年才來一次，我們請人定期來打掃──不過，顯然對方只對屋內做了整理。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENgQsUA2mZ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQVqvWz6lY
客廳中的三角鋼琴立刻吸引住蕭邦的注意。他坐上鋼琴前，朝同有川微微一笑，眼神像在說：「看，我說得沒錯。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eEszulOPN
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt6cKsMp7r
「弗雷德里克，等會兒再碰琴，我先帶你們去房間。」德爵女士說完，沒等蕭邦反應，拉著同有川走上樓。琴邊的蕭邦趕緊應一聲，跟隨在兩人後頭。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWopfxzVvbr
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICg1wS07TQ
樓梯間的牆上掛著許多油畫和一張不清晰的黑白照片，裏頭是年輕的德爵夫婦與一名少女。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllDIyfK71M
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT79DHp6Dw
同有川望著相片，好奇問：「德爵夫人，照片上的是──？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB22OgM3jL3
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyfWvbphZp
德爵女士一怔，半天沒有回應，直到同有川輕推她的肩一把，才連忙抹抹額頭掩飾窘境。「她是──一個曾經和我們很親近的姪女……曾經。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2eawz8oTi
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW4RTwpHXf
「哦……」同有川若有所思地點點頭，不再追問。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaon0rpofn
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzcDNXUKyG
二樓是一條長長的走廊，兩側的房間共有五間。德爵女士讓蕭邦住在位於左側靠近樓梯的房間，同有川則被安排到隔壁。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptfgqBlf85
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1lYaYobUD
兩個房間的擺設大同小異──一張靠在房門左側的單人床與擺在床尾的衣櫥。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7jSSvickd
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jO0Hn02QF
同有川剛入房，一眼就注意到門面對的落地窗，窗外頭是一座陽台，能夠由上往下看到前庭。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrdnyzpbsF
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaSxsTapxX
她來到陽台，晚霞像烈火絢爛散佈開，映得森林滿片通紅。她從沒見過一副讓人無限惆悵的景象，於是忍不住讚嘆一聲，嘆大自然的奧妙。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkLGTBQaUQ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EW7ZvFpZo
這時，身後響起微小的敲門，同有川沒有被敲門聲打擾賞景情緒，說聲「請進」，房門就被小心翼翼打開。是蕭邦！他換上一件輕便的襯衣，站到她身旁，手肘靠上陽台欄杆，與她相同凝視著西損的太陽，柔和的側臉看上去有些惘然。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ9HCi7zo7
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Dm6KhMD4
「落日的沉默總是會勾起心裡許多事情」蕭邦問：「妳也受餘暉影響嗎？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4twgD6eAX
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBM8gKbTLe
「是的。」她像碰到知音般露出微笑。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4aikNWBgr
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwW0KcPgVq
「那現在妳想到什麼？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH58CRSWaaw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBZaZcocat
「現在？」她搖搖頭。「太多了。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhm4hJ7nlU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdchDayf5cZ
「哦。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBR0PPbaVP
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01immNAS6U
兩人陷入沉默，同有川悄悄看向蕭邦，猜想他會想到什麼。他沒察覺她的注視，似乎沒入自己的思緒，眉間輕輕揉在一起。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNHpl0GF0Q
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbdiX2ATNv
「有什麼事情困擾著你嗎？蕭邦先生。」她出言打破安靜。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8pTqZu7f
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyZkm82eUL
蕭邦被她從思緒中喚出，忙道：「怎麼說？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLzwfOMhok
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCze85T85UU
「你的表情總透出一絲遺憾。不過，或許是我多想了。」她不好意思聳聳肩。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X8GsftSeC
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGzJc9WSHZ
「遺憾──」蕭邦沒有嘲笑她的話，反而轉頭認真望入她的眼眸。「同小姐，妳有沒有被遺忘過？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnZdyWSCEb
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l4la3Llin
「遺忘？被另一個人從記憶中抹滅的遺忘？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmBybrN43Y
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3WrsbWrpE
蕭邦點點頭。「是的──即使站在對方面前，那個人待妳卻如同陌生人般的遺忘。可是，那個人對妳來說是重要無比。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiDlrDYKDY
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk56SNGtF2
「天，我不敢想像！」她驚呼。「這是恐怖的折磨，生不如死！」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwEn0zEcMS
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDOpKZvhv4
「是的，痛苦異常。」蕭邦仰起頭，輕嘆一聲。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8RmrWHZPJ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5mILxdGvo
見狀，同有川察覺什麼般，把視線帶回遠方那抹金黃景緻，謹慎卻大膽地問：「蕭邦先生……是否，發生了什麼事情，使對方遺忘了你？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2PIPM1yHz
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxc44ZmOI5
靜靜地，蕭邦帶著無奈開口。「時間。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tcdcdKzPV
