Once Tanya had recovered from the shock of this unexpected kind gesture, she vehemently agreed to go with him.1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACymitCaVf

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.1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSIULv4sNZ
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQvhC0qXLD
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."1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoF6MsUrVz
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK66QAjIQH
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.1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNk0KquOTZ
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajABh8irBW
"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."1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ2Th4UizE
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aiepVatWP
Tanya was dumbfounded; it was almost as if he read her mind. "How did you know what I was going to ask?"1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxPd1mpTmI
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2flONoI33B
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."1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRKe1v4L4M
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJgj40XAyI
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?"1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOGz89cyaE
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS8p1fAhwE
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."1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCKQmY1Elh
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRBtCZRobd
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?"1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFdiUkNaht
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbrb2JqyJN
Gascoigne seamed angered by this. "That is none of your damn business!"1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMOG25w1uC
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTcn4vGAcS
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.1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhMtWovBPI
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcixX3YJwaq
"I am very sorry for asking such a rude question."1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQnQmuNrj0
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCn5SawMWa
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."1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1XojCXcVP
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttqel2f5nc
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."1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZJ1RN3vjM
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoNkbqZpjb
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.1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAhM5MWr4S
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck1ddlK7me
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.1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YlhhgiU82
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBz6gJ5F5o
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.1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxjiYwf9bi
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpDQRtL5sA
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.1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQxHmgjRHa
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0SVHwmYAc
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."1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcKseVZHPm
1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd7H6SoAbx
And with that Tanya and Gascoigne enjoyed their lasagna together, although Tanya probably enjoyed it more.1045Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx96yR9db9
