从我12岁那年起,每年都有人在我生日那天把一枝洁白的栀子花送到家里(马里兰州贝塞斯达镇上),没有卡片,也没有字条。

我多次打电话到花店询问,但总问不出个所以然来——这些花都是用现金支付的。

后来,我就不再追查送花人,只是尽情享受那枝神秘的、用粉红绢纸包扎的雪白花朵的瑰丽和浓郁芳香。

我还是不停地猜测这位匿名送花者。

有时,我最喜欢做的事就是揣测这个人,或许他是一个无比优秀的人,但过于腼腆或者性格古怪,而不愿透露身份。

母亲也和我一起猜测,很多猜想还源于她的点拨。

她会问我,是不是给谁做了件好事,所以人家用这种方式来答谢。

或许是邻居吧,我曾帮她卸下满满一车杂货。

也有可能是马路对面的那位老先生,寒冬时,我帮他取过邮件,这样他就不必冒着滑倒的危险去取了。

然而,正值花季的我,宁愿相信这个人是我喜欢的男孩,或是暗恋我而我浑然不知的某个男生。

17岁那年,一个男生深深地伤害了我。

他最后一次打电话给我的那晚,我失声痛哭,后来,就不知不觉地睡着了。
