Dino gets up and runs out of the room. He prays, while looking for Logan, that he didn't go after Dani. He gets his phone from his pocket and calls Logan. He is not picking up, but Dino keeps trying. He runs through the hospital swearing all the way, trying to think of places Logan might have gone to.

He suddenly thinks of something and gets into the elevator. When he reaches the ground floor, he runs outside and crosses the road. There's a bar there, right across from the hospital. 

He rushes in and finds Logan sitting at the bar. He sits down next to him and orders a beer for himself. He sits there silently and drinks from his beer. He has no clue what is going on between Logan, Scorpia, and Dani, and figures waiting for Logan to speak is the best course of action here.

But he knows that Scorpia wouldn't want anything bad happening to Logan, so he waits patiently while taking another sip of his beer. Logan plays with the glass of whisky in his hand, without drinking from it. 

He wipes the tears from his cheeks and asks barely audible: "Have I lost her Dino?"

Dino looks at him and replies honestly. "I don't know. Did you cheat on her?"

Logan looks him dead in the eye and says: "No! I love her. Forever."

Dino stares deep into Logan's eyes and asks: "Even if she never wants to see you again?"

Logan nods. "I'm not sure I'll survive if she never wants to see me again. But even then. She's the only one for me. I gave my heart to her forever."

Dino knows he means every word and sighs. "It's a mess bro. But I hope she'll talk to you eventually." Dino feels his phone vibrate in his pocket and sees it's a message from Ciro.

Fratello?
Have you found Logan yet?
I don't think she'll be sleeping well without him.
She's dreaming of him.
Ricardo's worried too.

Dino looks at Logan and says: "Luck might be on your side. Come with me." 

Logan seems hesitant but follows him towards the hospital anyway. They take the elevator and when Logan realizes where they're headed, he becomes nervous. Dino grabs Logan's upper arm and drags Logan with him, afraid he will run away.

They step into the room and Ciro looks relieved. They hear Scorpia moan Logan's name and Ciro gets up from the bed carefully. He gives Logan a stern look and says: "Hurry up, lay down next to her!" 

Logan nods and gets into bed with her. She immediately snuggles up to him, with her head and hand on his chest. She whispers his name and smiles. Logan closes his eyes and breathes out slowly.

Ricardo sits up and runs his hand across his face. He softly says: "We're never going to be enough."

Ciro nods and says just as soft: "She will always need that damn Scot."

Ricardo says: "Yes, especially when her subconscious speaks.

Logan looks at the other men with a pained look, but Dino says: "Come guys. Single losers have no right to judge here. Leave them alone." 

The men leave the room and Logan says Bonnie in his head at least a hundred times but is afraid to say out loud. He rubs her back and begs everyone and everything he can think of for help. There's no way he can live without her.
