从那以后,查理每次都会带一枝花,有些老乘客也开始带些花给他,温柔地递过去,腼腆地说:“给你的。”
每个人都微笑着,大家开始一起开玩笑聊天,一起看报纸。
夏天将逝,秋天快到了。
那天上午,查理没有出现在他以往等车的那个站,从那以后,他很久都没有再出现。
我们开始猜测他是不是生病,或是去什么地方度假了,当然我们更希望是后者。
当我们的车快要到达老年活动中心时,一个乘客让司机停车。
当她走到门口时,我们都屏住呼吸,她说:“是的,工作人员都知道我们说的那个人,那位老先生身体很好,但那个星期他没有来活动中心。
上周末,他的一个好朋友去世了,他们说下周他一定能来。”
余下的路程,人人都沉默不语。
接下来的那个星期一,查理在车站等车,他的背弯得更厉害,头发更灰白了,也没有系领带。
他好像又缩回了以前的样子。
车厢像教堂般肃静。
尽管任何人都没有谈论过,但我们都不约而同地拿着一朵花,眼里噙满了泪水。
那个夏天,他给我们留下了美好而深刻的印象。
