"But nothing happened. Moira didn't reappear. She hasn't yet." (133)
Atwood tells the reader of Offred and Moira's friendship before this part in the book, but the reader is also still unaware of what happened to Moira, and where she went. This part stuck out as foreshadowing, due to the second part of the sentence - "She hasn't yet." - as there wouldn't have been a real reason to say something like that if Moira wasn't a part of the plot later on in the book. When she does come in later on in the text, it's not a shock, and during some of the dialogue between her and Offred, the reader finds out what happened to her.
