Reminded by a subtle gesture from his wife, Bill only approached with Rosario and her ex-husband—the former mayor and once absolute ruler of Miami in the '70s—after realizing Tommy had agreed to their request.
"Tommy, this is David and Rona. Tommy Hawk, Odelia's husband, founder of Vox television network, Californian," Bill said, holding a glass of wine as he introduced them both.
David Kennedy, fifty-five years old this year, wore gold-rimmed glasses and was talkative, with a hearty laugh that made him seem affable. He was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts but studied law in Miami and decided to stay. He claimed it was because he loved the city, but Tommy speculated it might also be to carve out new territories for the Kennedy Family from Massachusetts, though the man never mentioned any relation to that Kennedy Family.
