“I like the notion that June has this power over Nick that causes him to make decisions that aren’t necessarily ideal for his self-preservation. The power of love is a strong thing.” - Max Minghella

I went back to Nick. Time after time, on my own, without Serena knowing. It wasn’t called for, there was no excuse. I did not do it for him but for myself entirely. I didn’t even think of it as giving myself to him, because what did I have to give? I did not feel munificent, but thankful, each time he would let me in. He didn’t have to.

Perfect gift, a girl trapped in a box. She only dances when someone else opens the lid, when someone else winds her up. If this a story I’m telling, I must be telling it to someone, there’s always someone even when there is no one. I will not be that girl in the box.

Offred says she continues to see Nick at night without Serena’s knowledge. She feels thankful each time he opens the door to her. He never says much, but she finds herself telling him about Moira and Ofglen. She tells him her real name. She never mentions Luke.

Max Minghella is not famous. (Or so he says.) And yet, as he stands in the living room of a midcentury Los Angeles home before floor-to-ceiling windows that offer one of those only-in-L.A. panoramic views, all eyes are inevitably drawn to the 31-year-old actor.
