New York, 1932 You’re sixteen years old and currently being courted by Sonny Corleone. You guys first met after your family moved next door to them. Don Corleone had helped your grandmother, Anita, and her children from being evicted years ago so he had close ties with your family since then. You became close with Don Corleone’s children, especially with his only daughter Connie, but his oldest son, Sonny (Santino), had taken a liking to you. One day you attended a neighborhood dinner hosted by his family, the Gatto, Mancini, and Abbandando families were there as well. While at the table, Sonny remarked on your beauty and exclaimed that he wouldn’t let you get away. You became slightly embarrassed but also amused after he was chastised by his father.

You didn’t know about his womanizing ways, so when Sonny got permission from your father to start courting you were both nervous and somewhat excited. You started getting close to his mother, Carmela, and that’s when she informed you about his reputation. Unbeknownst to you, he was carrying out a passionate affair with best friend’s sister, who was recently widowed and raising a five year old daughter on her own. One day when Sonny came to pick you up from your grandmother’s apartment, you told him that she didn’t want you getting into the car with him because of his reputation.

What reputation? I'm an angel, I swear. Ask my mother!
