Once Tanya had recovered from the shock of this unexpected kind gesture, she vehemently agreed to go with him.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjVj1vrAG9

Once at this strange man's house Tanya decided to ask a few questions that had been nagging at her. "Um, pardon the suddenness of the question, but who exactly are you?" Tanya asked, quite nervous.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wOJAbDcdF
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2A9u7tmq4
The man frowned slightly, turning from the window to face Tanya; he let out a sigh and spoke. "Who I am matters little but if you must know my name is Father Gascoigne."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8z6YsZFVk
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04u9qUHj5v
Tanya cringed slightly, she thought to herself, Father, huh? Did I really just get help from a religious man? Isn't this supposed God my enemy? Tanya swallowed her pride for a second, figuring that self-preservation was more important for the time being. "So…?" Tanya started to say.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkDg1in4sR
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIqAojr3Dd
"I may hold the title of Father, but I would hardly call myself religious, not anymore at least, not after the scourge that the Healing Church released."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSD5I0kAU9
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eHOulQ655
Tanya was dumbfounded; it was almost as if he read her mind. "How did you know what I was going to ask?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV2TlCDIEq
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89FkX9INK2
Gascoigne grinned slightly. "I guess you could say that I have a lot of insight." Tanya was left speechless, just then Gascoigne looked at Tanya with a concerned look. "I think it's time I got you some warm clothes."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8cbDvIJiO
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiJTtEQb37
A minute later, Gascoigne found a dress that was about Tanya's size. Gascoigne frowned slightly when he looked at it, as if it brought back some sad memory. Tanya knew it wasn't her business, but curiosity had gotten the best of her and she decided to ask. "Did you have a daughter?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NTX6S5IlL
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5hiHlcOSJ
The question came out blunt and awkward, so much so that it actually made her cringe a little bit. Tanya was about to apologize for being so blunt when he spoke up. "Annabelle. Her name was Annabelle."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeJvnwPI0N
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZIZRZ1wGR
Tanya already felt bad for asking this much, but she just couldn't keep her damn mouth shut no matter how hard she tried. "What happened to her?"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI3FeJieHg
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiIOQarqN5
Gascoigne seamed angered by this. "That is none of your damn business!"963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLIP25X9q6
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj5GlX938C
Tanya recoiled in shock, she knew that it was not her place to ask these things, and that the way she was asking was not exactly polite. In fact, the way Tanya was speaking it came off more like an interrogation than a question out of genuine concern. Tanya let out a deep breath and gave a polite bow to Gascoigne.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0gPjdBUBw
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoQDBTkkmh
"I am very sorry for asking such a rude question."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2EeWClibh
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZzP3AtWmR
At this Gascoigne seemed almost embarrassed. "No, I'm sorry. I overreacted, I should have realized that you had no idea that you were touching on a sore subject."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ0oyfgs3u
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFvMPs86iy
Tanya was somewhat confused; she had realized it was a sore subject that is why she cringed almost as soon as the question left her lips. This man was by far the kindest that Tanya had encountered in any life. Gascoigne decided to break the awkward silence by continuing where he had left off. "She died, eaten by rats actually. There was not even a body to bury, only a ribbon. I feel I must tell you the reason I brought you hear, you remind me of Annabelle."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ031RwZOVdI
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3Cese99O
Tanya was surprised by this revelation, but decided that the reason why he didn't leave her to die on the streets was unimportant, after all Tanya could not risk dying again. She was just grateful to be out of the rain.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWgGXSB5mn
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmtoi9onKB
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Tanya decided to put on the dress that was generously offered. No matter how much she detested dresses, it was sure as hell better than staying in those soaking wet rags she was wearing.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupi9JCUfDx
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICSp5v1HWY
After Tanya came out of the bathroom, she noticed that Gascoigne was no longer in the living room. She was about to ask her self where he could have gone off to, but before she could she heard some metal pots banging from the kitchen. It was at that moment Tanya realized the bleeding obvious. Of course, he was fixing dinner. Tanya sat down. I mean, it would be rude to leave before dinner, she thought to herself. In actuality, she was just so damn hungry that she couldn't care any less about being polite. The thought of refusing this meal never even crossed her mind.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV60KQADiCe
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzLhZs7nWx
Tanya caught a whiff of the food, and she could not silence the growls her stomach made. Even if her mouth would not ask for this food, her stomach was begging. It was a savory aroma, something foreign; it had been so long since she had a decent meal that she nearly didn't recognize the smell of fresh homemade lasagna. Now, if it weren't for how hungry she was, she might have turned it down or even made him insist, but this was a serious case of self-preservation above all else.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtyy3ZAdOu
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5sB7Trpod
Gascoigne emerged from the kitchen with a heaping pot of lasagna, and set it on the table. "Are you going to just sit there and stare at me or are you going to eat? I know you couldn't have eaten recently, having lived on the streets, also given how thin and well, sickly you look."963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFNjfJR5uJ
963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMoCY3vEZs
And with that Tanya and Gascoigne enjoyed their lasagna together, although Tanya probably enjoyed it more.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXet13eslE
