湖边小屋:Alex找回丢失两年的书
Kate和Alex玩了一场时间游戏,游戏看似虚幻,却又真实。两年前,在河畔车站Kate丢失了一件东西,她问Alex是否能找到它。
Alex来到车站,看到Kate和她当时的男朋友Morgan在站台依依不舍,直到车开的最后一刻Kate才上车。Alex发现Kate落下一本书,他追着火车想还给她,而Kate似乎也看到窗外有身影在晃动……
时空回到现在,Kate不相信他们相遇过,Alex却能说出Kate长长的褐色头发,温柔而天真的眼睛。Kate和Alex约定了打电话的时间,那一刻能成为真的吗?
Kate:My dearest Mr. Wyler. Are you willing to play a game with me? Two years ago today, I was taking the 145 train to Madison from the Riverside station and I forgot something there. It was a gift from my father. If you find it, can you please put it in the mailbox? It would mean a lot. Yours, Kate.
Attendant:Final call for the 5:46 to Madison.
Morgan:Do you really wanna know? Come on.
Attendant:All aboard.
Morgan:Okay. I'll call you.
Alex:Kate, I found it. I have it with me. One day I'll get it to you. Trust me. I know how important it is to you. You might not remember, but we saw each other. At least, I saw you. You never told me how beautiful you are.
Kate:Well, maybe you saw somebody else. That was a bad hair year for me.
Alex:Long brown hair. Gentle, unguarded eyes.
Kate:Okay, okay, okay. You saw me. But I still don't know what you look like.
Alex:Well, why don't we just get together in the future and you can let me know what you think.
Kate:lt's a date. Okay. Why don't you call me July 10th, 2006 at 9:05 p.m.
