Once Tanya had recovered from the shock of this unexpected kind gesture, she vehemently agreed to go with him.1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm2QtMmdAD

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.1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAvP7IPtoT
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZRaKhtXfV
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."1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oxJp1MIK5
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy5yxidYkI
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.1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zyOikCjYp
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq22lfo3kLM
"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."1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF9PlUBJ5y
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOmk3Vivlg
Tanya was dumbfounded; it was almost as if he read her mind. "How did you know what I was going to ask?"1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqnDK5Zdr0
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOezl6yXgx
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."1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzWUhHKIRM
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhERBlFwE3e
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?"1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliJsdksab7
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn6ZMuir4m
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."1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gYcEuQvQI
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF80Z5a3t9y
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?"1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9xGAfBKEl
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k5hHbVrmR
Gascoigne seamed angered by this. "That is none of your damn business!"1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy2jF06tu7
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP1MHaSq1J
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.1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczYM35YWtp
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QWn8M3zRQ
"I am very sorry for asking such a rude question."1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuruugmBwrd
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmLJOY3Yrm
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."1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapmEILSSiD
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuxZGZvlfz
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."1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5baAqfdHD
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJYe2qOZVG
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.1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQtqmXXk2K
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAViGmbDxA
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.1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WbJRe1Nvh
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cMBBzVosd
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.1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnECp1TFjGt
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwXguCuTPQ
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.1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqj79LY8Sh
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDqrCwBjxV
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."1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeKRQ5jVc7
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzOtrf1MVX
And with that Tanya and Gascoigne enjoyed their lasagna together, although Tanya probably enjoyed it more.1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j93IVsQeH
