ps：实在抱歉各位，最近刚回洛杉矶，实在是太忙了，到现在才有空码一章出来。
“抱歉，我来晚了。”
约翰尼一边喘着粗气，一边向坐在对面的坎蒂丝斯万内普尔投去一个抱歉的眼神。这里是位于河狸街（beaverstreet）56号，毗邻华尔街金融区的deloni’s餐厅，与约翰尼的办公地点间只隔了几个街区。在接到坎蒂丝的电话后，约翰尼便放下手头的事务立即赶了过来。
“没关系。”坎蒂丝轻声应道，嘴角勉力勾起了一丝灿烂的微笑，可眼角透出的憔悴与无助却让这份笑意显得苦涩苍白了许多。
“发生……发生什么了？”约翰尼紧张地注视着坎蒂丝，小心翼翼地问道。任谁都能看出来坎蒂丝的状态不太对，前几次见面时，即使没有化妆，身为高级时装模特的坎蒂丝也会保证自己的形象完美无缺，就连看似随意的马尾都扎得一丝不苟。但今天，坎蒂丝不仅头发蓬松杂乱，脸颊两侧残留着泪水风干后的痕迹，就连眼眶周围也都泛着异样的桃红，明显地浮肿了起来。
“没什么。”坎蒂丝拿起餐巾，做出擦拭眼角的样子，挡住了下眼睑肿胀的部分，“像我说的yiyang。我想加入s……事情就这么简单。”坎蒂丝竭力作出一副若无其事的样子。但这位南非女孩并非是一个优秀的演员。至少她无法藏住内心正在经受的煎熬与痛苦。
“好吧。”约翰尼沉默了一会儿，看看坎蒂丝，又低头看了看自己交叠在一起的双手，最终点点头，从怀里抽出一份合约，推到了坎蒂丝身前，“这是我和杰西卡开出的条件。”
坎蒂丝吸吸鼻子，开始翻阅起了桌面上的文件。而约翰尼则将身子后仰，表情严肃，一言不发地盯着对方。
“为什么这样看着我？”片刻之后，坎蒂丝注意到了约翰尼的动作。她有些慌乱地用合约遮住小半张脸，问道。
“我在等待。”
“等待什么？”
“等待你告诉我究竟发生了什么。”约翰尼笑着耸了耸肩。
“你就这么有自信，认为我一定会告诉你？”坎蒂丝把手肘搁在餐桌上，饶有兴致地问道。
“我知道你会告诉我。”约翰尼指着自己，说道，“我是约翰尼施瓦茨，随便什么人都会告诉我些什么。”
“我可不是随便什么人。”坎蒂丝终于被逗得笑出了声来。
“但你还是会告诉我的。”约翰尼举了举手中的杯子。“你是准备现在告诉我，还是等我喝完这杯冰水再说？”
“先喝完它吧。”坎蒂丝指着那满满一大杯冰水。狡黠地眨了眨眼。
“没问题。”话音刚落，约翰尼便爽快地仰头把至少一品脱的水都喝了下去，连漂浮在水面上的球形冰块也没落下，“现在可以告诉我了吗？”约翰尼捂着胸口，紧紧皱起眉头，做出一副难受至极的样子，问道。
“你还真的全部喝下去了？”坎蒂丝连忙将手边的餐巾递给了约翰尼。
“没错。”约翰尼轻舒了一口气，调侃道，“如果你再不说的话，我可就吐出来了。”
“我会说的。”坎蒂丝拨拨头发，将脑袋偏向窗外人潮汹涌的狭窄街道，笑容收敛了几分，“但那可不会是什么有趣的故事。”
“我听着呢。”
“这一切都跟赫曼有关……”坎蒂丝闭上眼睛，凝神思考了好一会儿，才缓缓开口道。在说出赫曼这个词之后，女孩用眼角的余光仔细地检视着约翰尼的神情。对方神色如常，似乎对此并不感到惊讶。的确，能够让十八岁的坎蒂丝斯万内普尔情绪波动到如此地步的，除了男友赫曼尼科利以外还能有谁呢？
“因为纽约时装周和巴黎时装周的缘故，我们这两三个月都很少见面。我拿到了很多品牌和时尚杂志的邀约，每天都忙得喘不过气来，而他的工作机会则远没有这么多。为此我们俩争吵过很多次，他告诉我，他觉得自己不受重视，希望我能多分一点时间给他……当然，我也知道他之所以闷闷不乐还有其他的原因，毕竟绝大多数男人都希望自己是更优秀的那一个。”
“刚开始，虽然很艰难，但我们依旧会为彼此留出约会和单独相处的时间，不管工作再怎么忙，我和赫曼一周里也至少有两三天是待在一起的……但渐渐地，他开始喜欢上了纽约繁华喧嚣的夜生活。你得明白，约翰尼，我并不厌恶夜店和酒吧，但当你的男友几乎每个晚上都会泡在那里的时候，你就知道事情开始变得不对劲了。”说到这里，坎蒂丝神情变得更加黯淡无光了，“我以为这只是赫曼发泄压力的一种渠道，总有一天他能学会调整心态，接受现状的……抱歉。”
坎蒂丝忽然停了下来，又一次将目光投向了窗外，试图用挂在脸上的苦涩笑容来掩饰住话语间的哽咽。
