The Handmaid's Tale 3

The reading begins with her thinking of Luke her old lover and her daughter from before. She tries to dismiss that they are dead as it is easier to think so. She then goes to Ofwarren's house to witness her give birth to a baby girl. While this is taking place, Offred is thinking about her mother and tries to regress her thoughts. She tries talking to another Handmaid but is caught and stops. When she is back from this event she meets with the Commander who asks her to play scrabble with him. They play and then he asks for her to kiss him.  She does kiss him and retreats to her room. I think she masturbates at night? It says she undresses and is laughing and trying not to be loud.
