子韌早在十年前就警告過程云霏不知道多少次,讓她心眼、雙眼甚至屁眼都放亮一點,最好亮得像高級轎車的遠燈一樣,都是為了不要問出今天這句話:405Please respect copyright.PENANAwmzHSC67pX

「退婚?等等,妳......妳再說一次,誰被退婚?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAOz6oqLXKrs

「我啦!媽的,要問幾次?」

云霏「砰」一聲猛地放下厚重的啤酒杯,店家用來充當桌子的陳舊酒桶甚至因此劇烈晃了幾下。這時段的居酒屋最是熱鬧,四周都是忙著交換資訊與情緒的老饕客,沒有人因此特別注意她急遽變化的人生藍圖。405Please respect copyright.PENANAniHk0U1ipt

子韌上下打量她,彷彿第一天認識。這個明天中午十二點應該在晶華酒店的宴會廳閃亮登場的女子,偏偏在婚禮前一天、他難得提早看完診享受夜生活的今天call他出來。原思忖著該不會她也如一般女性會有婚前恐懼,結果居然是這樣?405Please respect copyright.PENANA512ZX269nK

云霏低著頭,右手還緊抓著啤酒杯的把手,一頭可可色的長瀑布捲髮一路垂墜到酒桶的下緣,稍微掩蓋了聲音:「......辦公室。」405Please respect copyright.PENANAcoVm0JDMTq

啊?子韌上半身稍微前傾,好聽清楚她嘴裡的喃喃自語:405Please respect copyright.PENANAOmKvAQ8ZZn
405Please respect copyright.PENANAhyJLSIluol
405Please respect copyright.PENANAzZXD8aG5IX
「...我要去燒了他的辦公室。」405Please respect copyright.PENANArZO8GTOiT1

「......」接著見云霏舉手似乎又要叫酒,子韌按下她在空中搖搖晃晃的手道:「去,要去就快點,開車到內湖也要時間好嗎?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ8hJ7wHaB

程云霏這才終於抬起頭來。明明連手上這杯都沒喝完,但她的臉蛋卻泛著酒意,帶著一點恍惚跟子韌相當熟悉的笑意。他一邊暗想這傢伙的酒量似乎逐年下修,云霏手舞足蹈了半晌,突然指著他說道:405Please respect copyright.PENANAn8PyvwORs7
405Please respect copyright.PENANAI2WIf5s56q
405Please respect copyright.PENANA4UG0xQtyYY
「我很看好你,溫子韌!待會燒完以後給你百分之十五小費!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAz2NGBGmS1v
405Please respect copyright.PENANAuAwAVaViNM
405Please respect copyright.PENANAlnypCjb3Eg
「真是謝謝妳耶。」他又啜了一口茶,看著云霏「咕嚕咕嚕」喝掉啤酒杯裡剩下的液體,然後再次重重放下酒杯。405Please respect copyright.PENANAETQe2nIub1

對習慣夜生活的台北來說,十一點並不算晚。也許是因為正好連假,高速公路綿延數里的車燈遠看是一道道迷幻的光軌。405Please respect copyright.PENANAimxn2xWFoC

後座的云霏安靜好一陣子了,子韌伸手將路況廣播的音量轉低,趁著空檔覷了覷後照鏡裡她盯著車窗外的側臉。405Please respect copyright.PENANAUV2l6F5T8M

云霏未婚夫的公司叫什麼來著?他一時想不起來,騰出手在手機上點開地圖後遲疑地懸空。405Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9o6mTkZPh

「不想去了。送我回診所,我還要打藥。」她拍一拍臉頰,想讓自己清醒一點。405Please respect copyright.PENANAhYaFvXxs0w
405Please respect copyright.PENANAeIBy1mih9Z
405Please respect copyright.PENANAcxEgLnLVB6
「就算診所裡有麻醉藥跟安眠藥,也不是給妳吃的啊。程云霏,妳要不要下去走走清醒一下?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAAEHQIYAUkw
405Please respect copyright.PENANAtMYtjiAyC9
405Please respect copyright.PENANAgmwAqkMSbo
「......這裡是高速公路耶!」她毫不留情地送出一記中指。「憨吉睡前還要打針。療程都快一個月了,治療可不能斷掉。你載我去診所的話,我可以大發慈悲地賞你一包安眠藥喔!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAR26u7ocFkH
405Please respect copyright.PENANARXLGr9mHCn
405Please respect copyright.PENANAJGKOvNs7Qf
「那是給人的藥,還是給動物的?」他懷疑地瞇起眼睛。「藥有通過檢驗嗎?」405Please respect copyright.PENANAugZVT3gDi8
405Please respect copyright.PENANAv0V3AuVKKT
405Please respect copyright.PENANAJJxEwghLQR
云霏的胸口靠上前座副駕的椅背,笑得坦蕩。「給人的啦!真囉嗦。不過我又想到,你應該自己有很多安眠藥了,那還是不給你了喔!」405Please respect copyright.PENANAwBM3SfiU0D

「......」子韌默然,打了方向燈,車子緩緩切入外側準備下交流道。405Please respect copyright.PENANAfZIUH3nDPr

憨吉是隻來診所住院快一個月的高齡米克斯狗狗,由於歲數大了,患有慢性腎病。投藥跟保健品已經持續一陣子,但憨吉的精神狀況與食慾每況愈下,因此她最近都長時間待在診所。她說回家也不放心,有什麼狀況的話,人在診所也比較好及時處理。405Please respect copyright.PENANALqN8S813rs

「這個月慈善費交了沒?」405Please respect copyright.PENANA7e3Y9lYGmb
405Please respect copyright.PENANADSWLYgmqWK
405Please respect copyright.PENANAiuzQ6OtzBE
「欸!經你一說......還沒!慘了!」只見云霏全身一震,連忙掏出手機手忙腳亂地轉帳,手機藍藍的微光映在她逐漸酒醒的五官。405Please respect copyright.PENANAO8Y3G8C7rA
405Please respect copyright.PENANAaqOVRrIkLx

子韌常笑她老是住診所,交房租是在做慈善。倒不如租間他樓下的套房,離診所走路也才五分鐘,省得她每天台北新北兩邊跑。搞不好到時候狗沒救到,連另一半都長腳跑了。云霏非常喜歡自己的工作,而面對子韌的調侃,她也總是不客氣地回敬他「會這樣就長腳跑了的人,連狗都不如好嗎」。405Please respect copyright.PENANAv5HagcOXeU
405Please respect copyright.PENANAbgZTL6kahG

也許正是因為云霏這種類似「得之我幸不得我命」的人生態度,再加上彼此已經接受兩人都有病這件事,他們才能當如此長久的朋友吧。405Please respect copyright.PENANAUuavOCfGgB

車在一排排黯淡的店面街停住,白天有多熱鬧熙攘,深夜就顯得份外寂寥。秋天的腳步緊跟在後,位在盆地的都市,入夜後還悶熱折騰的氣溫已逐漸被颯颯涼風所侵蝕。云霏進入診所後開了一只小夜燈,成為這幅夜景中的小小微光。405Please respect copyright.PENANAxW6ddDrATg

她輕盈的身影不時穿梭於診間,看慣了她在忙碌時隨便套上的髮帶以及隨意紮起的馬尾,一時間彷彿被拉回初見時的場景。她一身泥巴,不曉得剛跟什麼事搏鬥過,頭上套著大概在大創買的39元髮帶跟紮著隨便的馬尾,坐在對面的位子上狼吞虎嚥著午餐。405Please respect copyright.PENANAwBS6XooZeX

似乎正好是溫子韌離開以後,她才忙完手邊的事。她摁熄了小夜燈,偌大的沉寂提醒了她的孓然一身,驀然升起一股遺棄感宛如一層層防護罩將她死死包圍。405Please respect copyright.PENANARV3AcLVoy0

云霏緩慢地蹲下身子,手心捏緊了剛脫下的手套。宛如受了傷的動物般微微發抖,小心地吐息,害怕用力呼吸都能牽引出椎心痛楚--她無聲地蜷縮起來,在這片無邊界的夜色中。
