Bristol had made a reservation at the fanciest seafood restaurant in Maui for a family dinner on Friday night. Between the wedding and the conference, he knew he’d be running around all weekend and needed to schedule some family time if he had any hope of not pissing off his wife. Of course, he’d had to book a 5 p.m. table to make it to the eight o’clock conference demo, so the family was seated at a center table in an empty room, the sun still shining brightly through the restaurant’s large, ocean-facing windows and the pianist on the baby grand in the corner playing chipper Christmas carols that sounded totally out of place.Ted had even been so generous as to invite Lisa’s boyfriend, Sundeep, a young Indian guy who was working on some medical device with Tom Fenway’s incubator. He wasn’t sure what Lisa saw in Sundeep; she was so beautiful that she could have any guy she wanted, especially now that she was in college. Sundeep was a nice guy, sure, but he was a little…dull.
