She catches Bruno and Lexy making out and tries to sneak by them. But Bruno grabs her arm and says: "Sorellina! Don't walk away like that! You'll break your brother's heart. And you don't want that, do you?"

She chuckles and says: "I didn't want to bother you. And I honestly can't believe you stopped kissing the woman of your dreams to talk to me. If it was the other way around I wouldn't have."

Lexy tries to look serious and says: "Yes, you clearly love Logan more than Bruno loves me. I suddenly feel very unimportant." 

Scorpia sees the shimmer in her eyes and prepares herself for a fun moment because Bruno loves her more than anyone in this world. Let's see how he talks himself out of this one.

"B-but Lexy, you know I love you. And a whole lot. But Scorpia... Lexy?"

Lexy turns her back to him and says: "You already have a tattoo in her honor and I know she's not your real sister... And I sometimes think you only want me, because I love our kids."

Bruno goes silent and looks like he's about to burst into tears. Scorpia bites her lip and asks as innocent as possible: "Did he give you a ring yet Lexy?"

Lexy answers a bit muffled: "No."

Scorpia knows she's laughing and chuckles softly. Bruno sinks onto his knees and begs Lexy to look at him. Lexy turns around and it's crystal clear that she's not sad. The girls burst out in laughter and Bruno looks at them all confused.

Scorpia says in a mocking tone: "Look at him. The famous boxer. And Lexy has him on his knees by only using words. Without a ring though."

Ciro comes walking up and asks: "Did he finally buy a ring?"

Lexy bends over from laughter and Ciro has no idea what he just did to his brother. Scorpia can't look at it any longer and helps Bruno up. Lexy wraps her arms around him and apologizes. She pulls him into one of the massage rooms and Ciro shoots Scorpia a confused look.

She tells him what happened and he laughs till the tears roll down his cheeks. "Oh God, poor Bruno. I had no idea."

Ciro walks over to Emilia and says: "Your first two certificates came in and I wanted to hand them to you myself."

Emilia jumps up and hugs Ciro. "Thank you! So cool! I'm going to show them to my mom!"

The girl runs off and Ciro stands there frozen.

Scorpia chuckles: "All tough, Italian guys and they call us women the weaker sex."

Ciro looks at her and says: "You women aren't and especially you aren't sorellina. I just don't get hugged by teenage girls very often. I'm starting to lose my mean side here."

"Yes, thankfully so. Because you look a lot better Ciro. "

"Scorpia? Are you really okay? Now that Dani is talking to Logan tomorrow?"
