Y/N P.O.V.
   It has been a very tough day but I'm really looking forward to my lunch because I have a lunch date with a coworker of mine because he has been very persistent on asking me. I like him but I don't think I like him enough to date him. Nobody knows this but I still haven't gotten over Ryan, there will be days where he just pops up in my head and I'll think about him all day.
    12 o'clock just hit so now im in lunch, finally!! I see Derek walking up the stairs probably heading to my office so I decide to catch up to him. "Derek, hey" "Hey beautiful, ready for today?" "Yes I am actually, looking foward to it" "great let's go" we start heading down to the lobby as the valet brings the car to the front and gives Derek the keys.
     Derek takes me to an Italian restaurant for our date, this will be my first time having Italian and I'm pretty nervous about it but let's do this. As our date progresses I turn to look outside the window when I see a black truck with a Y on it, I started thinking about Ryan because the Y reminded me of The Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.
    I can't focus on my date anymore because I'm thinking about Ryan and how he has been and if he recovered. "Y/N ? Hello??" "Oh sorry I just remembered that i had something to do, im sorry but i have to leave" as i started gathering my stuff he says "hey it's okay, don't worry about it we could do this another time" I call my supervisor saying that I ate something bad over lunch and I don't feel really good so I won't be able to go back to work today, he of course said "no worries take care of yourself and see you mañana" I head home after lunch and I just can't get him out of my head.
  As I'm pulling up on my driveway I see the same black Ram truck with the Y logo on it, I'm very confused because I thought i was just a coincidence that I had seen it earlier. I got out of my car which is a 1967 Chevy Impala I know a classic, I get to my front porch and I see him, Ryan, i thought i would never see him again. I wanted to jump in his arms and tell him how much I missed him but all that comes out is "Ryan? What the hell are you doing here?"

  I finally finished recovering after the car accident. I'm heading to the store to buy a few things that I need to finish. As I get to the store I see Mark, Y/N's brother, I wonder what he is doing back here. I try to avoid him but it's no use because he walks up to me. "Hey Ryan, how you been?" "I've been good, finally got rid of some weight that made me sad" "Are you talking about Y/N? "Well as seeing as she was the only thing that made me sad I would say yes I am" "you're such a dick, I can't believe you still feel that way after knowing what she had been through, what is your problem? I thought you were actually a good guy, but I guess I was wrong" "What in the?... what do you mean what she went through?" "Wait she didn't tell you?" "No she never told me" "oh right now I remember, she was supposed to tell you the day she found you in bed with another woman"  I wince at the thought of hurting Y/N like that. "Well as seeing as you probably won't see each other anymore, I guess I'll go ahead and tell you".
    Mark finishes telling me what Y/N went through growing up with her uncle I immediately felt horrible because now I understand why she freaked out over me getting the brand. "I need to see her, I need to apologize, I need to hug her, I need to be with her, where is she?" "She is in El Paso Texas, and let me send you her address." "Sounds good thanks, I'm going to go hit the road"

"Ryan? What the hell are you doing here?" "I needed to see you, I can't stop thinking about you, no matter how hard I tried, and trust me I tried but nothing worked. I tried moving on but you are all I think about." "I'm sorry I didn't let you explain why you had freaked out about me being branded, I'm sorry you found me in bed with another woman. Trust me when I say this, I didn't have sex with her, I wouldn't when I have you, well had you." "Look I'm here to apologize to you, I shouldn't have acted the way I did, but I did and now I want to show you that's not who I am and the way I act, I want to show you who I really am. If you give me another chance, and I understand I might be a little late" "what do you mean a little late?" "Well I saw you earlier at an Italian restaurant eating with some guy, so I figured you were on a date or dating someone." "It was actually my first date since I came back but I didn't really enjoy it towards the end, well technically I stopped paying attention to him because I had seen your truck and I started thinking of you and I couldn't stand being with someone else so I had to leave, I called in sick to work so I didn't have to go back. I couldn't get yout out of my head either, I haven't been able to for a while now." "So are you saying you'll give me another chance?" "I'm saying you can take me out tonight and we can talk".

   8 o'clock hits and Ryan is at at the front door ringing the doorbell, I open the door and I see him wearing his black cowboy hat with a blue button down shirt with some black jeans. I only had a tight black dress with some black heels. "Hey Ryan, you look good" "hello sweetheart, and thank you but I'm nothing compared to you." "Ready m'lady?" "Indeed I am". Ryan takes me to a Mexican restaurant and as soon as we sit down I see Derek walk in with a young lady by his side. He walks up to us and he introduces himself to Ryan and I meet his wife, which I didn't know of. Ryan introduced himself as my boyfriend, and before I wouldn't know how to feel about it but right now all I feel is happiness and excitement. As soon as they walk away Ryan says "I'm sorry if I introduced myself as your boyfriend but I recognized him as your lunch date and to hear that he is married made me mad because he used you." "It's okay I actually liked that term" "really? I was afraid I moved to quick." "No it's completely perfect" dinner went amazingly well I couldn't believe he was here for me but I am content about it. As we're exciting he stops us in the middle of the restaurant and gets down on one knee and he asks me if I wanted to...
