Later during the night, it gets hot, and muggy, and Offred puts on her Handmaid’s clothes as she lays waiting in her room. She had planned with Serena Joy to meet up that night and put their plan into action (Atwood, 2004). Thus, at midnight, Serena arrives, knocking on the door as planned. She gives Offred directions to Nick’s house, and promises to keep watch. When she finally reaches Nick’s apartment, and knocks, he opens the door, beckoning her inside – offering her a drag on his cigarette. When he looks at her, she feels “judged ugly, and stupid”; Nick kisses her and brings her to the bed, saying that there should be no romance; feelings are dangerous in their situations. While sleeping with him. Offred is awash with emotion; imagining Serena judging her for being easy and feeling like she had betrayed Luke for enjoying the experience as much as she did.
