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

“Thank you, guys,” he said. “You don’t know how good it is to be back in a familiar place.”


“Actually, we hear that a lot, Sir,” one of the attendants said.


Bobby, who had been hovering the entire time, said, “Noah, you get Tom settled and I’ll show these guys out.”


“God, this bed feels good,” Tom said.


“Do you have enough pain medication to last until morning or shall I go to a twenty-four-hour pharmacy?”


“Babe, it is morning, or haven’t you noticed?”


“I’ll be okay. I was a little woozy at the time, but I think the doctor said one pill every four hours, and I’m pretty sure there are four or five of them in the packet he gave me. Why don’t you just come to bed?”


“Are you going to sleep in your clothes?” Noah said.


“What clothes? All I have on is a T-shirt and boxers.”


“That’s a lot more clothes than you usually wear to bed.”
