MORIANI HOME, EXTERIOR

"But if you'd just been honest with me on the I-don't-know-how-many occasions when I'd asked you to tell me the truth, Tim never would have been out on that pier. He never would have been in danger."
Claire's words circle through Ryan's mind, driving themselves deeper and deeper into his consciousness with every round. They sound worse every time -- more condemning, more hateful.

"I swear this is not my fault," he mutters as he pulls the car into the driveway.

He is taken aback by the sight of an unfamiliar car. It strikes him that it might belong to Katherine Fitch, but he rejects the thought almost immediately -- this is not the kind of car that the woman his Nick married for money would own.

He turns off his own car and steps out, looking around. He doesn't see anyone, and it doesn't look as though anyone is inside the other car, either. He surveys the area once more and doesn't notice anyone.

Carefully, but briskly, he makes his way up to the front door. Thoughts of Claire and her violent reaction to his visit are still clogging his head, and he tries to force them aside as best he can as he climbs the steps in front of the house.

A shocked spasm seizes his body when he reaches the porch -- and what he sees brings those thoughts of Claire even closer to the surface.
