Tin-Tin leant back against the rock behind her, closed her eyes and listened to the waves roll onto the shore. Whereas some people in the world thought that an alcoholic beverage was relaxing, Tin-Tin begged to differ.

It wasn't long until she opened her eyes when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. She looked in the direction of the steps and smiled.

"Hi, Nikki."

"Hey, Tin-Tin." Nikki sat down next to Tin-Tin and smiled.

"I hope you don't mind that we came out here to talk. It's just that if we were in the villa, the apartments or by the pool I would guarantee that we would be interrupted."

"It's all right I understand that. So, what did you want to talk about?"

"I just wanted to catch up," Tin-Tin replied. "With rescues, other tasks and so many people living on the island it's not often that we get to sit and just chat."

"That's true." Nikki tightened her hair band around her ponytail. "So have you thought about what you're going to wear for the Halloween party?"

"Yes, I've thought about it." Tin-Tin paused and looked as if she wasn't going to carry on.

"And?" Nikki asked impatiently.

"And...you'll have to wait and see."

"Spoil sport."

Tin-Tin laughed. "I'm looking forward to it, though. I especially look forward to seeing what everyone will come as. I'll have my camera ready."

"As long as pictures aren't posted online on some website, then I'm all right with that."

"Oh, I would never do that." Tin-Tin looked thoughtful for a couple of seconds. "But I wouldn't put it past Gordon."

"Thanks for the warning. I think we'll all have to watch our backs and keep our eyes on him during the party. Wouldn't want any tricks happening."

"Same here. But then it wouldn't be Halloween without the tricks. Just count ourselves lucky that he and Alan are not together this Halloween," Tin-Tin traced her finger in the sand to her side. "Speaking of Alan... you two seem close."

"He's a good friend and he's easy to talk to." Nikki smiled and looked out to the ocean. "And when I'm feeling down, it doesn't take long for him to lift my spirits."

"I see," Tin-Tin sighed. "I know that it's none of my business, but I want to ask: do you care about him? As in more than a friend."

"Tin-Tin..."

Tin-Tin stopped playing with the sand and looked at her friend. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have asked."

"No, it's all right. It's just that the question took me by surprise and...well...don't take this the wrong way, but you're his ex, so it's a bit..."

"Awkward."

"I guess that's the right word."

"Nikki, he may be my ex-boyfriend, but he's also my friend. I want to see him move on like I have done and be happy. If you do have feelings for him, then I'm completely fine with that."

"Thanks Tin-Tin," Nikki answered. She was relieved that Tin-Tin told her how she felt.

Tin-Tin submersed her hands in the sand. She wanted to warn Nikki about the reason why she and Alan broke up, but felt it wasn't her place. 'If it wasn't for his job, then I wonder where we would be,' she thought.
