Note 1
[←1]
This is their first night after the wedding. Now, if you’re going to count days and nights, let me just say here that there’s an extra day in Corruption that doesn’t happen in Submission. I hope you can just read and enjoy the books. But if that extra day bothers you, I really do apologize. I know it can be disorienting.
Note 2
[←2]
To reorient you, Theresa shot Paulie at the Bortolusi-Lei wedding.
Note 3
[←3]
This is from when she was in the old well underground and she pushed the wood trapdoor off her. She also bumped her head on a marble tabletop in the Carriage House, and Paulie whacked the side of her face. So she’s got a pretty good bang on the side of the head.
Note 4
[←4]
This is actually untrue and more a matter of perception than reality.
Note 5
[←5]
Paulie took a shot at Antonio, and when Theresa saw his blood, she freaked out.
Note 6
[←6]
Spin, Chapter 20, if you’re interested in going back.
Note 7
[←7]
Time orientation – This is a few hours before Paulie found Theresa at l’uovo and accused her of working with Daniel to nail him.
Note 8
[←8]
Spin, Chapter 20 (ibid footnote 6). The road rage incident.
Note 9
[←9]
On the off chance this doesn’t ring a bell… Antonio was sold into marriage to Irene Carloni, granddaughter of the head of the Sicilian mafia in Los Angeles. It was a union meant to answer another wedding between the Sicilian mafia and the Neapolitan camorra. The first Neapolitan who was meant for her refused, and he and his girlfriend ended up dead. So this shit is real.
