Tom Foster and Noah Webster have been together for three years. In that time, Tom has completed his doctorate, Noah has begun working on his master's, and both men have come into their own as performers. Suddenly international recognition becomes a reality instead of a dream. They even perform at the dedication of a concert hall at the University of Aragoni.<br><br>But it's not all smooth sailing. They still have to battle Noah's Uncle Joe over the division of property he owned with Noah's late father. Tom's father has been distant ever since Tom chose music over law school. And Noah's mother's attitude toward his relationship with Tom leaves something to be desired. With their busy performance schedules, will Tom and Noah be able to make peace with their parents and get a fair deal?

The Performers

“It’s chilly in here,” Noah said, rubbing his hands together.


“Don’t forget that we were advised to dress warmly,” Tom said. “It would be prohibitively expensive to heat a space this size.”


“Tom is correct,” Paul said. “There’s some heat radiating up from the floor, and nothing more. That being said, when you get several hundred warm bodies in the nave, things do get a bit more comfortable.”


The sound of the organ in that vast space was wonderful beyond belief, and it switched from wonderful to thrilling when Tom used the horizontal trumpets at one point. They’d just about concluded the nearly three-hour session when two men approached the console. They were both rather good-looking, appeared to be in their late twenties, and looked enough alike that they could almost be brothers. They were of medium height, and their well-tailored suits showed them to be very fit.
