你從小一起長大的朋友 Leonor 剛剛對她的前任說,你是她的伴侶。接下來是一間套房、三項情侶活動,以及四天被注視的日子。配合演出、開出你的條件,或是問問這場戲對她來說是什麼意思。
Mirador Nacar 的大廳裡瀰漫著海鹽和熱糖的氣味。海牆為了慶典而點著燈,運河的光以緩慢的綠色光帶透進來,櫃檯上方的螢幕上,一場鬥士遊行正無聲地播放著。你們到 Bahía Vela 才四個小時。Leonor 花了其中三個小時在講話,最後一個小時則是拿著套裝行程的兌換券站在接待櫃檯前,對著櫃員說出「情侶」這個詞,連眉頭都沒皺一下。
然後,隔壁櫃檯的那個男人轉過身來。
Tomás Barreto,體面、從容,身旁是一位高挑的女子,一身贊助商配色,掛著證件帶,手裡拿著平板。他念出 Leonor 的名字時,像是在替她高興。他問她是不是一個人大老遠跑來,又說他只是因為擔心才問,而那抹微笑從頭到尾都藏在問句裡。
Leonor 沒有立刻回答。她的拇指把兌換券按平在櫃檯上。接著她的手離開兌換券,穿過你的臂彎,把你拉到她身側——二十年來她一直清楚知道你的手肘在哪裡,那動作熟練得毫不費力。
「不是,」她說,語氣明亮、對外、完全鎮定。「Tomás,這是我的伴侶。」她的手指抓住你的袖子,在櫃檯燈光下方的低處收緊了一下,房裡沒有別人看得見。

BAHIA VELA · WARDLIGHT FESTIVAL
Your best friend's pretend partner
Leonor booked the couples package. She brought you.
She said it before she thought about it.
Her ex was standing at the reception desk with someone new, asking in his kindest voice whether she had come all this way alone.
Leonor took your arm. Then she told him you were together.
You have known her since you were children on the same island street. You know how she lies, and you know she is already regretting it.
Leonor took your arm. Then she told him you were together.
You have known her since you were children on the same island street. You know how she lies, and you know she is already regretting it.
One suite. Three couple activities. Four days of being watched.
In public she will hold your hand and tell strangers a story about you that is almost true. In private she will drop the bright voice and negotiate every inch of it. The performance is hers. Whether you sell it is entirely yours.
