“哦是的。”他喃喃自語道。然后他認錯地向我微笑著。“那么我猜,你這周六出去會相當不錯……我計劃和署里的家伙一起去釣魚。那天的天氣應該會相當暖和。但如果你想推遲你的旅程,直到有人能跟你一起去的話,我會待在家里。我知道我老是讓你一個人待在這里。”
"Dad, you're doing a great job." I smiled, hoping my relief didn't show. "I've never mindedbeing alone — I'm too much like you." I winked at him, and he smiled his crinkly-eyed smile.
“爸爸,你做得相當不錯。”我微笑著,希望我的寬慰沒有表現(xiàn)出來。“我從不介意一個人待著——我和你太相似了。”我向他眨了眨眼,而他露出了那個瞇著眼的笑容。
I slept better that night, too tired to dream again. When I woke to the pearl gray morning, mymood was blissful. The tense evening with Billy and Jacob seemed harmless enough now; Idecided to forget it completely. I caught myself whistling while I was pulling the front part of myhair back into a barrette, and later again as I skipped down the stairs. Charlie noticed.
這天晚上我睡得更好些,因為太累了所以沒有做夢。當我在這個珍珠灰色的早晨醒來時,我的心情簡直樂翻了天。當我用一個夾子把劉海往后別起來的時候,我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在吹口哨,而稍后我跳著下樓時又吹了一聲。查理注意到了。
"You're cheerful this morning," he commented over breakfast.
“你今天早上似乎很快活。”吃完早餐后他評價道。
I shrugged. "It's Friday."
我聳聳肩:“今天是星期五。”
I hurried so I would be ready to go the second Charlie left. I had my bag ready, shoes on, teethbrushed, but even though I rushed to the door as soon as I was sure Charlie would be out ofsight, Edward was faster. He was waiting in his shiny car, windows down, engine off.
我相當匆忙,這樣我就能在查理離開的那一秒準備好。我整理好書包,穿上鞋,刷完牙,甚至在一確定查理走出視線范圍的時候我就沖出了門,但愛德華更快。他已經在他那輛銀光閃閃的車旁等著了。車窗搖了下來,引擎已經關掉了。
I didn't hesitate this time, climbing in the passenger side quickly, the sooner to see his face. Hegrinned his crooked smile at me, stopping my breath and my heart. I couldn't imagine how anangel could be any more glorious. There was nothing about him that could be improved upon.
這一次我沒再猶豫,飛快地爬進了乘客座,更快地看見了他的臉。他沖我彎彎一笑,停下了我的呼吸和心跳。我沒法想象比他更美的天使了。他身上沒有什么還能再改進的了。
