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

Back at the house, they found Mrs. Webster and the Walkers relaxing on the back deck. “Noah, honey,” Mrs. Walker said, “this is a heavenly spot. I think I could sit here for hours on end.”


“I’m glad you like it, Grandma. You and Grandpa can come up here anytime you like—just let us know and we’ll give you a key. If you’re not up to driving this far yourselves, I’m sure we can arrange something.”


“We might just do that,” she said. “By the way, I’m not being nosy, but it looks like someone sort of lives in our room.”


Noah laughed at that. “We told Bobby and Chad to leave some clothes in that room if they wanted to—that way they won’t have to carry stuff back and forth when they come up here.”


She smiled at that, saying, “I should have recognized Bobby’s particular style of messiness.”
