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

“What’s up?” Noah said as he hovered by the desk.


“I’m sending George an e-mail to bring him up to date.”


He finished composing the e-mail. “Anything you want to add or change?”


He pushed the send button and stood up. “Let’s go to a nice restaurant and celebrate.”


“Let’s go downstairs and celebrate in bed first.”


“That sofa is closer and it folds out into a bed.”


“Yeah, but the lube is downstairs.”


They took their final choice of plans with them to Hugh Williams’ office the next morning. After a brief discussion of weekly rentals during the summer and winter seasons, Tom showed Hugh the pictures and said, “Is this the kind of house that can be easily rented?”


Hugh looked the pages over and said, “You bet! May I make a suggestion?”
