High Infidelity

This coldly counts "the unspoken betrayals between us": not the affair itself, but that eerie pact of knowing yet pretending. Haven't you smelled "something's off but no one says" in a relationship?

It uses "high fidelity" backwards: loyalty becomes a hi-fi you must keep confirming. Taylor writes a clear-eyed pain — the worst isn't the act, it's the silent pact.
