I’ve been married for six years. My wife, Anna, is a good woman — kind, funny, loyal. We have a dog, a shared Spotify account, matching bathrobes. You know, the usual signs of a stable, quiet relationship. But there’s someone else. Her name is Harper. She’s been my best friend since college — the person…
