Crushed (The Americans: Mischa/Nadezhda)
Philip and Elizabeth Jennings are gone. They've lost their home, their children, their lives. So why is it Stan's face, crushed by the weight of truth, that he remembers so clearly?
Looking out over Moscow, he knows the reason. Their friendship had been unorthodox and unexpected, but it was as real as anything in his life - more real than Martha, Kimmy, even Elizabeth at times. For someone who never expected to have a friend, Stan was a surprise. A true friend, despite the secrets, and Stan will never realize that.
"Mischa," Nadezhda says, taking his hand. "Are you crying?"
