Once Tanya had recovered from the shock of this unexpected kind gesture, she vehemently agreed to go with him.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN2uy4C8EE

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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqD9ps5VNI
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bGxlNs9Cd
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl7BBdGBqW
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAimXuspQg
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EzP5IpqEq
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsVHtq4I2x
"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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhPvzScN2a
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmzRPhrxGa
Tanya was dumbfounded; it was almost as if he read her mind. "How did you know what I was going to ask?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs29Hpul2Xv
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfrZhfcSgp
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OLRbPb1zh
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ec8IGYmto
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?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9uO9NKnSl
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpY5SZe1a4
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mtk6olTww
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAEfscObPo
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?"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMXmTD5IJH
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAxbFUEHc2
Gascoigne seamed angered by this. "That is none of your damn business!"964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DzAgKo31T
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp316fzQkP
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWffQ0cyRNI
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKdbkD81kd
"I am very sorry for asking such a rude question."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqn3gx5QYF
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrt92jK56e
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz5COVfBKg
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC0Fy4y020
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Eg4RKgvn
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8PjEGt41f
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtLsaclhRQ
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1UEBNtv8c
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRexVllz7Ji
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQzunrtoAN
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjRO6Ul5jF
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Eb3S6Tfl9
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.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJIr2Wp9Mb
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnOz2X5Hrc
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."964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCX9XsvOb4
964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ392bEYs4pF
And with that Tanya and Gascoigne enjoyed their lasagna together, although Tanya probably enjoyed it more.964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAtpZndyQy
