This is about the oldest story in the book. A partner betrays his significant other for their closest and most treasured friend by having an affair. The only way to tell this story is to go back to the beginning, to the start of the friendship, the boundaries that were slowly blurred and then crossed, which then resulted in the ultimate betrayal: an affair. The journey to that point starts with friendship, love, and loyalty and ends with a pain that can be described only as a cold, calculated, and direct stab to the heart from both betrayers.
