Once Tanya had recovered from the shock of this unexpected kind gesture, she vehemently agreed to go with him.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfzUsfD097

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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkd3Y55EJC
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYNAPfoeXt
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."792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdvTs7CCDD
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoQJa2aVgW
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhqGmXiFM9
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5pun835ZC
"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."792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fCSTAETOf
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlwCp5oGXg
Tanya was dumbfounded; it was almost as if he read her mind. "How did you know what I was going to ask?"792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtl9Wg5DQr
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Ydars6TV
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."792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJfe2REgsD
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPYuVacDiG
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?"792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdK1Pdz0ec
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyoRdpXfCO
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."792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5URkw7P46
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IsBxBiUGe
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?"792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLg3LhhA8M
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND3a2Xvbf6
Gascoigne seamed angered by this. "That is none of your damn business!"792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK3qki4xib
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6khrKuU8j
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bk10F1thC
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCLIueaGVh
"I am very sorry for asking such a rude question."792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfc04d3RAX
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lGyeGa4oD
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."792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNFa2vEi23
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfYdl2OMOn
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."792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b6qZywofm
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULGVjUhCb6
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXXgopqCjb
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTiFa96HNW
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyHm84sXvc
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0mZCy3kqx
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VMRq8DwkN
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFTl4Kaeur
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjjBbKyMhW
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzGkwvhYxa
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."792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmPtL2PIAF
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1VVn5q76d
And with that Tanya and Gascoigne enjoyed their lasagna together, although Tanya probably enjoyed it more.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLjMN1ffg0
