Permission

Ryan's POV:

One mile from Bozeman Cassidy looks up at me from layin on my lap. "Instead a turnin left ta go inta the hotel at tha junction, turn right, go 4 miles south an then 3 miles west," she instructed.

I look down at her an run my hand over her cheek givin her a smile. Then I rest my hand on her chest over her heart. She holds my hand an squeezes it, we don't know what ta expect. I pulled up on tha junction an turned tha corner tha clock was shining 12:02 pm when I turned on to tha gravel.

Cassidy started ta hum a hymn I thought, an then she started ta sing.

Her voice filled my heart as we drove down tha 4 miles. I turned off at big sine saying Long horn ranch welcomes y'all ta Gallatin County. Two miles west i read as I rolled past it, an Cassidy breathed in a sigh. I seen tha yard light an tha left over drifts of smoke.

Reaching tha lane I turned on ta it an drove down slowly. The sine in tha headlights at the end of tha lane said Blake, Leannee an Cassidy Jenson, welcome you to long horn ranch. I was feelin anxious suddenly ta see where she grew up. Pullin up outside tha house the lights were on, an Cassidy sat up.

"Daddy must be awake," she says.

"Mm, lets go see," I say opening my truck door.

She held my hand an I helped her out, as she slid off tha seat in ta my arms. I looked down in her eyes, "I love you, an I'm here fer you no matter what," I say.

Her free hand runs up my chest an around my neck. "I love you too, thank you," she whispers.

I lean down an plant a kiss on her lips, sendin that lightning feeling threw my veins. I pulled her close an tight in ta me an for a moment we were lost. Sheltered from all things, thoughts runnin threw my head of how I was gonna ask her ta marry me. First though I had ta as her dad, an that might seem like tha easy part but it's not.

Anxiety ran threw me an I was actually really nervous about this. Bein her boyfriend was one thing. But askin her daddy if I could marry her another. I broke tha kiss openin my eyes slowly not wantin tha dream ta end. "Huuuu, lets go see yer dad," I said with a whisper.

"Alright," she whispers back with her eyes closed.

We walked to tha steps an up them then I let Cassidy try tha door. "Can ya reach up there please, an slide that little tile over, there should be a key just to tha front of tha hole," she asked.

I put my hand on her shoulder an reached up, slidin tha tile over an found tha key. Slid tha tile back an passed her tha key. As she unlocked it an opened tha door we heard groaning noises. Cassidy pushed tha door open an walked in. "Daddy," she said loudly.

Whispers came from tha living room of sssssshit, and get up. That's when Cassidy turned tha light on as I stood behind her, both our mouths dropped open. Blake was naked, with a woman on tha couch. "OH MY GOD DADDY," Cassidy screeched turnin around hiding her face in my chest. I closed my eyes but when I opened them I couldn't believe what I saw.

"Gess Cassidy a little warning yer comin home woulda been nice," he said.

She turned ta look at him but froze when she saw tha woman. "Momma," she whispered.

"Hi huuu," she breathed out.

"Um, I uh, I'm gonna go to tha kitchen an give y'all a moment, come on Ryan," she said.
