"I will never complain about having to go on a teambuilding retreat again." Sara let out a contented sigh as she plopped down on the towel she'd spread out on the sand.

Nick glanced over at her. "Yeah, but this all seems a little too good to be true though; no repercussions for acting on your deepest desires? C'mon, when was the last time you got to do whatever you wanted without there being a catch somewhere?" He had a point, despite this being Fantasize Island, none of the trio seemed to feel any different than they had before they'd sipped the champagne.

"I don't know." Warrick chimed in with a smirk. "Just being here is a little like a dream."

"Too bad Tina couldn't come." Sara offered Warrick a warm smile as she glanced over at him.

Warrick's face clouded. "It's probably a good thing she didn't come." There was a part of him that wasn't sure he believed that; he just didn't know how they were ever going to work things out when they were constantly arguing, especially given what had happened before he left.

Nick furrowed his brow. "Trouble in paradise, bro?" He knew that any relationship had its problems and he knew that things with Warrick and Tina were a little rocky, but the tone of Warrick's voice made it sound like things were much more serious than he'd thought.

"You could say that." Warrick wasn't sure how much he wanted to share despite the fact Nick and Sara were good friends of his.

Sara looked completely thrown, Warrick and Tina really hadn't been married that long, but then again, she'd been a bit distracted with her own issues of late and hadn't noticed much of what was going on in her coworkers' lives. She really had no idea that they were having problems.

"She served me with divorce papers right before we left to come here." Warrick felt a little better even confessing that much to his friends in spite of the shocked expression on their faces.

"Sorry, man." Nick hadn't realized the extent of their problems.

"She says she thought I had some unfinished business to take care of and while I was figuring out things she was going to go spend some quality time with Dr. Feelgood." Warrick sounded angry that not only would Tina accuse him of having a wandering eye, but that she would use it as a justification for cheating on him herself.

"Oh, Warrick, I am so sorry." Sara sat up and looked over at him. "I had no idea." She really felt regret that she hadn't bothered to even pay attention to what was going on around her.

"That's harsh." Nick agreed. "But what did she mean by unfinished business?" He reasoned that if he could get Warrick to admit it, maybe he could put the Catherine question to rest once and for all so that if he wanted to try and work things out with Tina that it would no longer be an issue.

Warrick quirked a single brow. "I think I'm gonna head back to my bungalow." Nick might know more than he let on about Catherine, but Warrick didn't really want to fill Sara in on the details. "You two enjoy the sand and the surf."

"Hope that works out for you." Nick was grinning like a Cheshire cat as Warrick strolled back up the beach towards the bungalows. He glanced over at Sara, noticing again for probably the fiftieth time how long her legs were and just how little that bikini of hers covered; he'd have to be dead or named Gil Grissom not to notice what it did to her slight curves.

"What?" Sara caught him looking and she wondered if she had seaweed stuck to her forehead or something. There was no way that Nick Stokes; man who could get any woman he wanted was looking at her as a sex object.

Nick smiled at her curiously. "What do you fantasize about, Sara?" He had just intended it to be a question about what she expected to get out of the week, until the words had left his mouth, the double meaning didn't register in his mind.

Sara could feel herself blushing. "Don't you think that's a little personal?" Truth be told, she wasn't sure she wanted to tell him. Probably everyone thought that her deepest fantasy was to be with Grissom; there was some truth to that, but it wasn't the whole story.

Nick laughed. "It is why we're here. Besides, what happens on Fantasize Island stays on Fantasize Island." He did his best to imitate Mr. LaRourke. "I won't even remember what you've told me once we've left here." He saw the expression on Sara's face shift as if she was considering telling him.

She glanced over at him and let out an embarrassed chuckle. "I know you probably think that I fantasize about Grissom."

"Don't you?" Nick arched a brow. He could see how they looked at each other, what he couldn't understand is why neither one of them had done a damn thing about it. He wasn't the type to just sit there when he was interested in someone; well at least unless they were interested in someone else.

"I don't need to fantasize." She arched her brows suggestively.

Nick's eyes widened. "Don't tell me that you two have something going on." He couldn't see it; despite the snippets of something between them that he'd been privy to over the years, there was nothing that he'd seen that would suggest that they were together.

"We did once." Sara confessed feeling a little exposed as she wrapped her arms around herself protectively. "And then once in a while, and the future hasn't been ruled out either, but Grissom really isn't the kind of man that commits to someone easily." The relationship between her and her boss had been a literal rollercoaster over the years that she'd known him; it had started with a hot and heavy romance when she was a graduate student at Harvard and had been on again off again ever, but mostly off since then.

Nick tried to swallow his incredulous smile. "So you're not now?" He just wanted some clarification, because if she wasn't with Grissom now, he was definitely going to let her know what one of his deepest desires was.

"No." Sara smiled at Nick and then looked out at the ocean. "I'm getting tired of emotionally unavailable men, and right now, Grissom loves his work more than he'll ever love any woman." It felt good to talk to Nick like this. He'd been a good friend over the years, but she'd always held back a little, afraid of what he'd do if he knew the whole truth about her.

"Are you in love with him?" Nick didn't want to pursue her if she wasn't emotionally available herself. The last thing he needed was to become the male equivalent of Sara Sidle.

She shook her head and smiled. "No, I'm not in love with him. There's a part of me that I think will always love Grissom, but then who doesn't love Grissom?" She glanced over at Nick and grinned.

"Ecklie." Nick tossed out the obvious.

Sara laughed. "He's just jealous that he's not Grissom." Her features softened for a moment as she studied him. "What do you fantasize about, Nick?" She'd often wondered what went on inside that head of his; wondered if maybe he ever thought of her.

Nick just smiled and closed his eyes. "Well laying here on this beach with you and that sexy bikini is a damn good start."
