Catherine had a thing for him?

Warrick hadn't really been expecting that.

Why hadn't he noticed? How, more likely. He wasn't a CSI level three for nothing. He was smart, observant. He noticed things. Why hadn't he picked up on this?

Why had her revelation shocked him so much?

Because you never let yourself hope, man, he thought. You didn't want to get hurt.

Warrick sighed. It was the truth, of course. Catherine was beautiful, intelligent, sexy, and she had it. Attitude. She knew what she wanted and how to get it. He'd always admired her. Liked her.

But he wasn't in love with her, or anything, right? Like she'd said, it was just fantasy. It was something to maybe hope for or think about in the back of your mind. There was nothing real there, because he was married. He was in love with Tina.

Right, it was only fantasy.

Only now he'd never get to find out if it could've been more.

Warrick sighed again. This was why he hated regret.
