“I got it back for you.”Aster听见声响,从客厅那一头走过来,轻轻地说。她已经脱下校服,换上一身蓝底白花的法兰绒休闲服,脚上蹬着毛拖鞋,前面两个大大的粉红球,头发在脑后高高扎起来,脸色微红。
他看看地上的鞋,又看看她,蹲下来, “Where did you find it?”
她想了想,“Winston took it…I saw him,but don’t tell his dad.” 她脸上透出一点得意。
从她法兰绒领子里露出一只小小的、白金丝编织的鞋子。
“Nice necklace。”他的眼光定在上面。
“Mum gave it to me。”
“I know.”他微笑着说,“Very nice,Very – nice.”
她也微笑了,“Winston doesn’t like you. He said you are from America, and he doesn’t like America.”
“Really?”
她点点头。
“Do you like America?”
她想了想,歪着头说,“I like Disney.”
“What’s your favorite?”
“Guess.”
“Lion King?”
“No。”
“Aladdin?”
“No。” 她抿起嘴笑, “Shrek.”
“Shrek。” 他跟着微笑,然后伸出右手手掌, “Give me five。”
她看着他,眼睛里有点不解。
“Push my hand。” 他说,指指她的左手。
她把五个手指贴上来。
“Harder.” 他们各自收回手掌,又往前,“啪”地碰在一起。
“Again。Give me five.” 他说。他们再击掌,Aster 笑了。她的手很小,很柔软。
“This is how we make friends in America。”
她看着他,像是下了个决心似地说,“I like you.” 说着,半眯起眼,两个嘴角一齐弯弯地朝上翘去。
Eric Clapton "Tears in Heaven"
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
Would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven...
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven...
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
