MORIANI HOME
"I thought I took care of that,"
he hears Katherine
cry. "I arranged for her to be away from King's Bay
for good!"
Andy
freezes in the driveway, his
entire being fixed on what he can hear through the open window. Something
inside of him is protesting violently. It can't be true. Danielle left
town of her own accord -- that had nothing to do with his mother.
But another part is screaming that
it can be true, it must be. After everything Katherine did to them ...
He rides a current of outrage back
up to the front door and begins hammering at it with the knocker. It is
only a matter of seconds before the door flies open.
"I thought I told you to get lost,"
Nick says coldly.
"This won't take long," Andy announces
through gritted teeth. He pushes his way inside the house without even
looking at Nick. His gaze is already focused on Katherine, perched on the
landing of the staircase.
"Mother!" he cries angrily, stopping
at the foot of the stairs.
Nick's hand grasps Andy's shoulder
roughly and spins him halfway around. "She is my wife and she's staying
here," Nick orders.
"You can have her!" Andy frees himself
from his stepfather's hold and turns back to Katherine. He stares directly
at her as he declares, "I don't want her!"
Until now, Katherine has been wearing
a look of shock, as though she were not quite sure what to make of Andy's
powerful return. Though she still appears shocked, genuine hurt and confusion
have come in to join it.
"I heard you," he says almost under
his breath. "I heard what you said about taking care of Danielle for good."
Katherine remains stony. She gives
no
evidence of guilt but certainly makes no move to contradict him.
"What did you do to her?" Andy demands,
his voice burning so intensely through his throat that it almost sounds
hoarse. "What did you do to me?" No response. "Answer me!"
Katherine gazes down upon him from
her post on the staircase. An agonizingly long moment slithers by as she
considers this man, the son she once held so dear, the one who has turned
her life so utterly upside-down over the last few years.
"You heard correctly," she says with
an eerie calm. "I arranged to have Danielle kept away for good."
