Logan looks at Scorpia and asks: "Are you in the mood for some food, Bonnie?"
Scorpia nods and Logan says: "Croquette with fries?"
Her eyes sparkle when she yes: "Oh yes please."
"Sit down in the cafe, Bonnie. I'll prepare it for you."
She kisses him and walks back into the cafe with Marco.
Dani is sitting at the bar and Scorpia walks up to her.
"Hi, Dani."
"Hi, Scorpia. I hope it's still okay that I'm here."
"Definitely, Dani. Are you coming to the premiere?"
"Are you sure you want me to?"
"Yes." Scorpia doesn't feel like turning it into a big thing and sits down at the bar next to her.
Marco asks them what they want to drink and they both order orange juice.
Dani looks at Scorpia's hair and says: "I love your hair! Is it new?"
Scorpia beams and says: "Thank you! Yes, new. Lexy did it this morning. I'm very happy with it."
"It shows. Looks good on you."
Logan emerges from the kitchen with a plate of food and puts it on the bar, in front of Scorpia.
Dani reads the text on Logan's shirt and says: "I also love those shirts!"
Logan says: "Freya came up with it."
He stares deep into Scorpia's eyes and says: "Have a good meal, Bonnie. Are you staying here at the bar?"
Scorpia nods. "Or are you saying I should move somewhere else?"
Logan nods his head in Ciro's direction, who is still seated on the bench near the window.
"Shit! I totally forgot about him for a second."
She picks up her plate and rushes over to Ciro. She sits down across from him and notices he's deep in thought. "Ciro? What's wrong?"
Ciro looks up at her all dazed and asks: "You've invited Flavio? Sunday?"
"Yes, for dinner."
Ciro looks at her like she grew a second head and asks: "Why?"
"Because he's good company." Her phone buzzes and she quickly glances at the screen. "Don't you want him to join us, Ciro?"
"Yes, I do. But I haven't told mamma yet and..."
"Mamma already knows. She knows everything."
She reads the message Violetta just sent her.
I've talked to Thomas. I'm choosing Dino.
He's the one who makes my heart beat faster.
And whatever might happen...
I'm not going to deny myself that feeling.Scorpia stares at Dani and suddenly gets an idea. She sends Violetta to invite her for dinner on Sunday too. She looks at Ciro and says: "I've invited Violetta for dinner too.
Ciro breathes out and says: "Okay. Flavio is coming to dinner at mamma's house."
"Nice. Another man to cuddle with." She winks at him and happily eats her croquette.
Ciro steals a fry and says: "I have to get back to work. Thank you, sorellina. For everything. For your love."
She puts her hand on top of his and says: "Follow your heart Ciro. I swear it's worth it. Flavio's worth it."
