OFFRED THE HANDMAID

Today, I was in the kitchen with Rita, when Offred came in for her normal morning routine. She was quiet as usual, but there was something wrong. When I did ask what was wrong, she said she could not tell me mostly because she was not supposed to feel the way she did. I was very suspicious about how she was acting, so I asked her again, and she just told me that she was better. I thought about it for a while and just realised that I should not worry about it, and I should do my work.
I am sort of jealous for Offred and the other handmaids, because they are able to have children. I wish that I could have a child of my own! At the same time, I kind of feel bad for them, because they cannot keep the child, they have to give it away to the commander and his wife. I do like Offred though, she is sweet and seems sensitive. I just wish I could get to know her better.
