Mild Sex­u­al Ref­er­ence

At a wedding, one table becomes the site of three quietly catastrophic conversations. An attempted flirtation runs headfirst into harsh reality. A reunion turns into a blame game with no winners. A compliment about the catering is mistaken for a romantic overture, and everything unravels from there.
