A man crashes a divorce party as a plus one to a former bridesmaid.  An interesting idea, the divorce party undoing the marriage ceremony, giving back the rings, the flower girl picking up petals.  The best is the adopted desert tortoise, Greeley, making it's way back into the desert when no one is looking.  

But can we really undo the past?  Our anonymous narrator reflects on his own part and subsequent divorce... Unfortunately no you cannot.
