They’ve been at this for a few days now, this gig of writing and reviewing. Heretics, that’s what they are now. Admittedly, it’s kind of fun to talk about something other than her pregnancy or the weather. Sometimes they even get into topics such as these, talking about their places in Gilead. Seems Serena isn’t quite satisfied with her place here either. Wives have bad things too, the handmaid has to remind herself. ❛ May I be frank? ❜ She wouldn’t await her mistress’ permission, instead just move forward.
❛ It sounds like you’d be much happier outside of Gilead, Serena. You aren’t built for this world. ❜ Anyone who wasn’t a Commander couldn’t thrive here, she’d argue. ❛ Why don’t you leave? Have you ever… thought about it? ❜ This was dangerous territory she was entering and June knew it.
