After the Fall (by Monette)
Synopsis: In the episode Triangle, Adam is engaged to Laura but is so busy building her a house she feels neglected. Will gives her all the attention she needs, and she ends up falling in love with him. We are led to believe in this episode that Adam gives her up willingly, that he never really loved her. “After the Fall” gives this story a different interpretation. For those of you who like to believe he really did love her, as I do, you will discover here what goes on between the scenes of the episode after he falls off the roof of the house, how he feels about the incident leading up to letting her go, and how he recovers both the full strength in his legs after he stands as well as how he recovers from a broken heart.
