He moved in front of me, dark eyes full of amusement and devilry. “Tell me more about this ‘stroke’ thing, Paul.”

  Notes

  This story takes place in the same ‘verse as More Than a Thousand Words.

  Titan House—See More Than a Thousand Words

  Former Royal protection officer—Steve McCallum from More Than a Thousand Words

  “Her school friend is a mind reader”— we’re in the More Than a Thousand Words ‘verse

  ~~~~~~~~~~~

  Île de Désespoir’ — Island of No Hope/Island of Despair

  Cap de l’Espoir—Cape of Hope

  Esercito Italiano—Italian Army

  Finocchio, un sale pédé—homophobic slurs in Italian and French

  “Grazie mille, sua altezza.”—“Thank you very much, your highness.”

  Vaffanculo—fuck you, go fuck yourself, go to hell (take your pick :) )

  ~~~~~~~~~~~

  There is no Paris Cetacean Institute. Or to my knowledge, a firm called ‘Fleury and Bonneville’.

  The characters’ opinions on the Monaco Royals do not represent those of the author.

  Le Marais—Gay-friendly area of Paris

  The villa is definitely not in the town of Soulac-sur-mer in the Médoc, but in one which might resemble it.

  “Chelsea and Paris St Germaine”—soccer (in Australia/America) or football (as the rest of the world calls it) teams in England and France respectively.
