Epilogue

March 21, 2014.

It's been about a year and a half since Luke moved out to Los Angeles with Noah. There have been a lot of changes in their life.

Within six months in Los Angeles, Luke moved into Noah's loft but found they didn't have enough room so they decided to purchase their own place. They decided to stick to the Hollywood area since that's where Nuke Productions offices were located. Down the street from the office was an apartment building complex undergoing renovation. The owner ran out of money and had to sell the complex. Lucinda, Luke and Noah decided to go in together and buy the buildings at a very low price and finish the renovations. Within five months of completion of the renovations, the complex was already turning a profit each month even though not all of the thirty loft units were filled. Luke and Noah moved into one of the more lavish units with four bedrooms and three baths close to the center of Hollywood. At night, they could sit on their roof terrace and look across the city to see the Hollywood sign.

Tragedy of Love was picked up for worldwide distribution and became a huge hit grossing over 150 million dollars in the first eight months of its release. It's been translated into 20 different languages and even more were being requested by the distributor. It received critical acclaim from film critics and was a complete success. Mark was correct. Noah Mayer had arrived.

The movie was nominated for numerous awards, including Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, original screenplay and Cinematography. Unfortunately, they didn't win but Luke and Noah got to walk down the red carpet and were able to get noticed by the heavy weights in the business. Directors and actors like James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep and George Clooney were almost knocking Noah and Luke over to introduce themselves and congratulate Noah on his film. Noah wasn't too happy when he had to pull Luke away from George Clooney but it was George, virtually every gay mans fantasy.

Nuke Productions opened its doors after the successful launch of Noah's movie. They were able to keep all of the staff Noah employed on his movie. They hired an executive to run the daily business and within a year, they were working on three movies, one of which was written by Luke. Luke and Noah were very picky in which films they would make. Nuke Productions would become famous for its pickiness but also for the higher than average quality of the story, acting and direction in each film that it produced.

Luke and Noah were married on July 24, 2015, in Los Angeles. The wedding guests included many Hollywood heavy weights.
