Silas wakes up early every Saturday morning. He makes a cup of coffee and sits by the window. The street outside is calm and quiet. He reads the news on his tablet.
塞拉斯每个星期六都起得很早。他泡一杯咖啡，坐在窗边。窗外的街道平静而安宁。他在平板电脑上读新闻。
This Saturday feels just like any other. Silas finishes his coffee and starts to make breakfast. He cracks two eggs into a pan. The kitchen smells like toast and coffee.
这个星期六和平常一样。塞拉斯喝完咖啡，开始做早餐。他把两个鸡蛋打进平底锅里。厨房里弥漫着烤面包和咖啡的香味。
Then his phone rings with a number he doesn't know. Silas almost doesn't answer it. At the last second, he picks it up.
这时，他的手机响了，是一个他不认识的号码。塞拉斯差点不想接。最后一秒，他还是接了起来。
"Hello?" he says, a little confused.
“喂？”他有点疑惑地说。
"Silas! It's Rhea! Can you believe it's really me?" a voice says.
“塞拉斯！我是瑞亚！你能相信真的是我吗？”一个声音说。
Silas nearly drops his phone in surprise. "Rhea? I can't believe it's you!"
塞拉斯惊讶得差点把手机掉在地上。“瑞亚？真不敢相信是你！”
Rhea moved abroad after college to study medicine. They sent messages sometimes at first, but that slowly stopped. Silas never expected a call like this.
瑞亚大学毕业后去国外学医了。一开始他们偶尔还互发消息，后来渐渐就不联系了。塞拉斯从没想到会接到这样的电话。
"I'm at a small café near the hospital," Rhea says. "I just finished a long night shift, and I thought of you."
“我在医院附近的一家小咖啡馆里，”瑞亚说，“我刚值完一个漫长的夜班，然后就想起了你。”
"I can't believe you still remember my number," Silas says, laughing.
“真没想到你还记得我的号码，”塞拉斯笑着说。
"Of course I do. You were my closest friend here," Rhea says warmly.
“当然记得。你是我在这里最亲密的朋友，”瑞亚温暖地说。
They talk for almost an hour about their new lives. Rhea describes the hospital and her tiny apartment. Silas tells her about his new job and his garden.
他们聊了将近一个小时，说着各自的新生活。瑞亚讲起医院和她小小的公寓。塞拉斯告诉她自己的新工作和他的花园。
His eggs get cold in the pan. But he doesn't care.
锅里的鸡蛋凉了。可他一点也不在乎。
"I'm going to visit next spring," Rhea finally says. "I promise this time."
“明年春天我会回去看你，”瑞亚最后说，“这次我保证。”
Silas hangs up, smiling, and finally eats his cold eggs.
塞拉斯笑着挂了电话，终于吃起了他那凉掉的鸡蛋。
