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

“I have to sign up with an artist management company in the UK, but that’s no big deal as long as it doesn’t restrict my activities in the States.”


“How long do you have to make up your mind?” Noah said.


“They’d like an answer by the end of summer, but it doesn’t seem to be an absolute deadline. And they’ve attached a PDF file containing a sample contract.”


“There are two lawyers in the room,” William said. “Why don’t you print it out and let us have a look at it?”


“How do I send the file to your printer?”


“It’s set up as a network printer,” William said. “Let me see the laptop for a minute.” He took the laptop and began to work with it until a LaserJet on the credenza behind the desk hummed to life and began to print.


When the printer stopped, William removed the pages, glanced quickly at them, then handed documents to Henry, Tom, and Noah.


“I printed four sets of the contract,” he said.
