Once Tanya had recovered from the shock of this unexpected kind gesture, she vehemently agreed to go with him.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaicz4EVUm

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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2MroGEKDe
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0wuNeQmYs
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz6XXC3KEY
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGhOyMpLcr
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhhnRCKcst
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6hxCBGWi8
"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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJg5ieW2XV
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe2nU1nQGH
Tanya was dumbfounded; it was almost as if he read her mind. "How did you know what I was going to ask?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4twpHdzt2I
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8myzQW4CY
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXNQjWLVOv
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Jwgrh5gA
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?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8Ri11dhn
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HrnVqCfGX
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtqqwMl8Lj
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAptWcy60y3
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?"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRKVRR02dQ
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZq9iNqScO
Gascoigne seamed angered by this. "That is none of your damn business!"959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwC58HYqxS
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAcRhszJKv
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWIKFb9xXO
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qFT9eLPGT
"I am very sorry for asking such a rude question."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU39zRXQ4rF
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbOQciNIRv
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdylQtQyXxw
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMFKq81jsi
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofyVmo9PmF
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3YbmO3t9M
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiGjUKn1DK
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTht8nWeGi1
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOOp3b1AUA
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b7bTN0tFX
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1YRfwZjoZ
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilGmAyMcYn
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFIc1Q82cY
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAISejxZ16H
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."959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwGBBkoFn8
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM5cQfR4aY
And with that Tanya and Gascoigne enjoyed their lasagna together, although Tanya probably enjoyed it more.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBxb28Zi3e
