Once Tanya had recovered from the shock of this unexpected kind gesture, she vehemently agreed to go with him.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJsRlgdMHF

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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jLZ9zrwvs
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jUMvvtbiP
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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAVATylNpS
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡailTwhWBY0
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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjVUG91a3X
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrZedCGGc1
"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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bmkGLMQdf
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvErVOVKowZ
Tanya was dumbfounded; it was almost as if he read her mind. "How did you know what I was going to ask?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyMLFXMOr3
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhBxx0OdPE
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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3AGXnoqvo
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJwUIey2NQ
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?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEUmXBZPsL
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2k9lZA5WH
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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv03cSowPHK
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL7xe4K3Z5
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?"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMrN3t9HWy
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2rhhTSDzF
Gascoigne seamed angered by this. "That is none of your damn business!"999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5iblGBsJy
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn77ZXfepf0
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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQNC2htyQa
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyg4RAH8t1
"I am very sorry for asking such a rude question."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhirZIJD8b
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnsGdfjVKs
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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfriWfJQDPT
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOE0eG6bsq
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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxINSSkbpv
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5xJlUYQHK
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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQZGUkGtrr
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOqRwofPkf
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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToaKDl0PVC

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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg6AYB76SQ
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsItPuxbV7
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.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGChFVlYW4Q
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7I9KcyvZj
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."999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbmFWeXLhV
999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRt1o1hC4K
And with that Tanya and Gascoigne enjoyed their lasagna together, although Tanya probably enjoyed it more.999Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgflku3YqT
