Once Tanya had recovered from the shock of this unexpected kind gesture, she vehemently agreed to go with him.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02zIvPZYid

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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3xc3zxIcy
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcboq0AKARO
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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC3gKhd0wX
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhLBoDY9SQ
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnexIldDTQb
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYJaSmQDh0
"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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjmkZumjmr
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb6BlWy1kt
Tanya was dumbfounded; it was almost as if he read her mind. "How did you know what I was going to ask?"960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAtSjqHAHU
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IximJKjxO
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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4t8Sgiiu9
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe3QUSNw4F
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?"960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPuiywDZs5
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvljcjUo3u
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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLr6ixCmap
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG285HeI0F
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?"960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PmveQRwAV
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwfGHCmzdO
Gascoigne seamed angered by this. "That is none of your damn business!"960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM6tTOr3Zr
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcIX2gRwwg
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDjOcPpDk2
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd43FFIjyxs
"I am very sorry for asking such a rude question."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T0fjUpCgi
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Thao8QKnv
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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPPrbYYxuz
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvNhEAdfYE
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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1KBsYdSC8
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJSY6PsW20
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmSTfOU2yZ
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl4cXN3NbX
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2HZWMvxU3
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHeXXz7OF7
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqD4sqH7UO
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWSDnnPQRh
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4z9dhfBK2
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7246UIiOkz
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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V2kZW80fQ
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rXPm1qGBV
And with that Tanya and Gascoigne enjoyed their lasagna together, although Tanya probably enjoyed it more.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovT9GCu1jr
