After the presentations, it was clear that the boys were known.

- Go! The world is a handkerchief. Turns out our little checks are known and have fun nicknames ...Ha, ha, ha! What rascals! -Frasier excitedly said.
- Yes.. Haaa... Haaa... -Diane said sarcastically, unconvinced seeing how they looked.

The boys exchanged glances with resentment content. They seemed friendly and educated by would have thought that his parents were friends!What a nightmare!

- And how did you meet? -Sam asked

Frederick and Samuel looked helplessly not knowing what to say. Samuel was the one who finally broke the silence.

- Well, you see, Dad. Call it something... fortuitous... It was obvious that we needed to know as you...
- True, true -endorsed Frederick
- You know "Of such wood ..."
- "... such splinter" -Frederick said in a tone fussy, staring into his eyes.
- Don't you see? -Frasier said- Ha! They have returned to make these rascals! They're joking! Best leave them alone. Come, I invite you to a coffee.

As their parents left, Samuel and Frederick looked coldly and with some skepticism.

- So Sam and Diane are your parents... -Frederick said
- And your father is the good of Frasier...
- I think this should change our status quo a bit. Don't you think? Someone told me that you and I started on the wrong foot.
- Yes, I know. She said to me the same.
- If you accept my apology… Hello! My name is Frederick Crane. Psychology student last year and a pompous hopeless -he said while extending his hand to give a sincere handshake.

Samuel smiled quietly. Don't expect something like that guy. But he was never rancorous.

- Apology accepted ... Please accept mine too... -he cleared his throat and said, as he shook the hand of Frederick heavily- Hi! I Samuel Malone, freshman at Harvard Business School, and the largest in the world largemouth.

Both youths laughed at ease as they drove away walking across campus. The scene was observed in the distance by Tracy. She was happy. Finally her two favorite guys had buried the hatchet!.

Sam and Diane were walking hand in hand, besides to Frasier on Boylston Street. They talked animatedly, recalling old times. At the height of the Prudential Center, Frasier stopped and looking up, he proposed:

- Forgive me, but I feel a little hungry. How about if I invite you to eat? Indeed, in this building, on the 52nd floor there is an excellent restaurant, 'Top of the Hub', one of my favorites.
- Good! -Sam said- I have hungry!.
- Sam! -Diane exclaimed horrified- Don't do that. You know I don't like to talk like that.
- What you want?I have hungry! -Sam repeated.
- Let him, Diana -Frasier said understanding- We're like family... no need to keep these formalisms.
- I'm glad - Sam continued- because I'm still hungry. Oh, my God! How roar the guts me! Did you hear?

After an excellent meal at the dessert, while savoring a delicious and aromatic coffee, the three were talking animatedly while enjoying spectacular views of the city next to one of those huge windows.

Diane then noticed a small detail. Lilith Sternin. At no time had appeared in the long conversation they had had. Neither had been seen on campus. She began to suspect something was up. Furthermore she knew well to Frasier, and knew that excessive joy hiding something.

- By the way, Frasier. You know anything about Lilith?
- What the hell is that… ! -Frasier said while pale- Sorry, Diane, I mean: What do you know?
- Yes, you see. This morning we went to see Samuel. It's normal! We're their parents, and typically go to see a son together. You have gone alone. You could have stayed with her, but you have gone alone. Then we have seen, took half a day together, we talked about everything and everyone, including Cliff, but not Lilith. Now I asked for her and you have paled.
- Run alone! -said Sam- It's true.

Frasier was trapped. Diane was very insightful and knew him very well. He had to confess.

- Diana, you know me very well -he was silent for several seconds to collect his thoughts, and he went on- A few years ago, Lilith came to Seattle to visit. She came to propose that we might have another child, but through artificial insemination. Although at first I agreed, I opposed and finally explain my reasons. She reluctantly agreed and returned to Boston. On the return flight met a guy. They hit, they went and finally decided to live together. At first all went well, but after a few months, she called home. When answering the phone, she hung without saying anything.
- And how do you know it was her if she said anything? -Sam interrupted
- Because the phone has caller recognition -Frasier replied a little angry at the interruption
- Go, you pimp! -Sam exclaimed.

Diana endured secretly laughter. Sam would always be the same. So she loved him. Frasier continued:

- Soon after, I decided that when she called and colgase, I would call immediately, but didn't respond either. So it happened some time later calls ceased. I heard from acquaintances that after three years of living together. That guy had left without explanation. This plunged her into a state of depression that affected her work and private life. She research, returning to private practice. Back then, Frederick was in a prestigious school in inner regime. One day the school called me to tell me that Lilith didn't come to see our son.
- That is very rare in her -Diane pointed.
- True, for that reason I came to Boston again. First for a short time. After permanently. I knew that Lilith didn't do well in her cabinet psychiatric, and one day she didn't show up at work even. I hired a private investigator, until I found just outside the city in a seedy motel, drinking like a real and nasty drunk.
- I know the hell is that -said Sam.
- Yes, it is -said Frasier- Spent time in a detox center, I took her to the best colleagues to treat her depression. Has gone forward, and… -Frasier was silent.
- So? -Diane asked intrigued.
- And I discovered that after a lot of years since we divorced, relationships piles of hers and mine... I'm still in love with her.
- But that's not bad Congratulations, buddy! -Sam said- What is the problem?.
- That she didn't want to see or talk -Frasier replied with a forced smile. It was obvious that the pain, anguish and heartbreak tortured his heart and mind in equal.
- Why? -Diane asked- After all you've done for her.
- According to our mutual friend, she blames me for all her woes. She says I should have fought harder for our marriage. What if we had not separated, nothing of all these things that have happened has passed.
- That's not fair! -exclaimed Sam.
- Tell her -said Frasier.
- Exactly! -Diane said with a smile- That's precisely what we do Sam and me: Tell her.
- Oh, really? -Sam said.
- Frasier: You know her address?
- Yes, of course. But don't have to do that. Precisely, I wasn't very understanding and I didn't give you blessing when after six years apart you decide to get married and go away to Los Angeles.
- No matter, buddy! -said Sam- Finally, as usual, didn't you case and look at us now. And Sam and Diane smiled each other with complete hapiness.
