清晨的薄雾笼罩着这个小镇,如一层轻纱,遮住了远处的山脉和天际线.韩舟站在车站前,手里拎着一个褪了色的帆布包,里面装着他全部的家当.二十岁的他刚刚从高中毕业,没有继续升学的打算,也没有家人依靠.他知道,留在这个小镇,他的人生只会如同这条主街上的老店铺一样,渐渐失去生气.他想要改变,但前路未知.
"真的要走吗?"老邻居李伯站在他身后,声音沙哑却透着关切.
"嗯,要走了."韩舟轻轻点头,目光望向前方那条逐渐远去的铁轨.
李伯沉默了一会儿,从口袋里掏出一个小布包,递给韩舟."这是些干粮,路上吃吧.外面世界复杂,记得照顾好自己."
韩舟接过布包,嘴角浮现出一丝微笑:"谢谢您,李伯.我会的."
随着一声悠长的汽笛声,列车缓缓驶入站台.韩舟深吸了一口气,迈步向前.他回头看了一眼,李伯还站在原地,目光追随着他的背影.他将这份目送铭刻在心,转身登上了列车.
列车开始加速,窗外的景色飞快地倒退.韩舟第一次离开小镇,心情复杂而忐忑.他看着窗外的风景,想象着即将面对的世界--是繁华的城市,还是静谧的乡野?是友善的陌生人,还是难以预料的艰难?
列车的广播响起,报出下一站的名字.一个坐在他对面的女孩抬起头,朝他笑了笑.她似乎察觉到韩舟的不安,轻声问:"第一次出远门?"
"嗯."韩舟点点头.
"别紧张,路总会越走越明的."女孩的声音带着一丝安慰.她伸出手:"我叫许清."
"韩舟."他握住她的手,感觉到了一丝暖意.
他们聊了起来,韩舟渐渐放松下来.他从女孩的话语中,感受到一股难以言喻的力量.这让他意识到,即使前路未知,也并非全然孤独.列车穿越隧道时,车厢里短暂地陷入黑暗.韩舟闭上眼,心中第一次升起了一种期待感.
列车驶出隧道时,阳光洒满车厢.他睁开眼,发现窗外的风景变得广阔而明亮,仿佛在为他的旅途揭开了新的篇章.
他们的谈话持续了许久,韩舟了解到许清也是一个"旅人".她离开了北方的一座城市,为了追寻艺术的梦想,正在前往一个名为南桥的小城镇.她的行李中装满了画具和一叠厚厚的素描纸.许清的眼中闪着光,她说:"世界太大了,不去看看,总觉得人生缺点什么."
韩舟被她的乐观和勇气感染.他告诉许清自己的故事,关于小镇的闭塞,关于自己从未离开家乡的恐惧,也关于他对未来的迷茫.许清没有嘲笑他,反而认真地说:"迷茫是好事,说明你还有选择.只要你不停下脚步,总会找到属于自己的路."
列车驶入一个小站,许清起身准备下车.她微笑着对韩舟说:"希望我们还能再见.记住,无论走多远,都要记得初衷."
韩舟站在窗边,看着她背着画板离开.他挥了挥手,心中涌起一阵不舍,但更多的是对未来的期待.他坐回座位,感受到一种从未有过的动力.他知道,这只是旅程的开始.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
