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

On the way back to the subway stop, Noah said, “It’s hard to believe that museum exists simply because one woman decided it ought to.”


“By all accounts, she was an extraordinary woman, and very eccentric. Under the terms of her will, the exhibits in the museum can never be changed in any way.”


“Yeah. Are we early for our meeting?” They were meeting their hosts at the Ritz-Carlton.


“We should be just about on time,” Tom said. “William said they have drinks with their fathers every Friday afternoon around five.”


They had only a short wait until the next inbound Green Line train arrived. They took it to the Arlington Station, went up to street level, and walked from there to the hotel. The Lanes were at a table in the bar, just as their hosts had said they would be. The four men rose as they approached and William made the introductions.


“Have a seat, guys,” William said. “We’ve got a couple of extra chairs waiting for you.”
