She waves at Ricardo and runs back to the room, where Logan is just pulling a shirt over his head. She stares at him till his head pops out of it. His eyes meet hers and a smile appears on his face. "Hi Bonnie."

She smiles back at him and says: "Hi."

Logan says: "Get over here." She walks up to him and he wraps his arms around her. He hugs her lovingly and sighs happily. "Hmm, where are we going now? Where's home Bonnie?"

She mumbles against his chest: "Home is wherever you are."

Dino walks into the room and says: "We're taking you two to the cafe first. Because there's something you need to see there." Logan shoots Dino a questioning look, but he says: "It's a surprise fratello."

Logan says: "I still have to finish getting dressed and I have to wait for the recovery therapist and orthopedic surgeon. They are going to tighten the screws in my hand and we'll go over the schedule for the recovery therapy."

Scorpia nods and asks: "Dino? Can I speak to you in private?"

Dino says: "Sure thing, sorellina." She kisses Logan and walks into the hallway with her brother. Ricardo comes out of the office and waves at her, before walking away. Dino says: "Jesus, that guy is insanely huge."

Scorpia grins and says: "I hope to turn him into my new sparring partner." Dino gives her a stunned look and she says in an amused tone: "He was the only nurse who could really handle me."

Dino mumbles: "Damn. I hope you'll never get pissed at me."

She says: "That kind of depends on your answer to my next question. Would it be possible to get the guy that did your tattoo to come to the hospital?"

Dino looks deep into her eyes for a second and then dials a number on his phone.

Scorpia is waiting patiently, seated on a bed in a small room, when the door opens. Dino comes in first, followed by a skinny man, covered in piercings and tattoos. He looks at her with kind eyes and says: "I'm Mickey. You wanted to see me my lady?"

She smiles at him and says: "Yes sir, I do hope you brought some materials."

"Oh most certainly. I basically carry those around twenty-four-seven. But I'm curious. Tell me, what is it that you desire?"

She says: "The name Logan with a small heart. Here." She puts her hand on her heart and Mickey raises his eyebrows.

He asks: "Is this your first tattoo?" She nods. "Ah, maybe you should start with a different spot. Because the skin on your chest is very sensitive."

Dino clears his throat and whispers something in Mickey's ear. He stares at Scorpia in shock for a second, before quickly whipping out a notebook and a pen. He writes Logan in curly letters and adds a tiny heart at the end of it. He shows it to her and she smiles wide."

"Yes! I love that!"

"Okay, go and lie down, while I prepare everything. And you might have to take off your bra."

Scorpia says: "Okay."

Dino is stunned because he expected her to be uncomfortable with that. He says: "I'll wait in the hall."
