I never imagined a simple family dinner would upend our world. When Brian, my husband Tom’s lifelong best friend, joined us for what should’ve been a relaxed evening, it seemed harmless.

The “Harmless” Friendship That Crossed Every Line For years, I bit my tongue. The late-night calls. The sudden errands.
