"I guessed," Jason confirmed.  He wasn't sure if saying her husband looked Indian might be misinterpreted, so he left it at that.  He glanced at the horizon once more, trying to gauge the weather.  But decided not to worry about it.<br/><br/>He would have waited for the crowd to pass, but if Deepika was headed for the meet and greet, he decided to accompany her.  Jason wasn't sure what the ratio of single women to single men was for this cruise.  It seemed to be mostly couples and families.  As a widower, he really wasn't sure he wanted romance at this point.  So keeping a beautiful married woman company might work out to both their benefit.  Discouraging the single men from descending upon her, while discouraging the single women from descending upon him.  He stopped himself from taking her arm, however.  It was something he would have done with his wife.  But she wasn't his wife and he didn't want to give anyone the impression she was.<br/><br/>As for her husband, he decided to say nothing about the man's absence.  He didn't know the man or what responsibilities he had that kept him from his wife.<br/><br/>"I'm going to get something to drink," he told her once they'd arrived at the lido deck.  "Is there anything I can get you, Deepika?"
