Blanche researches French Polynesia thoroughly and finds that nothing she read prepared her for the color of the water, and she sits on the deck above the lagoon and does not speak for a long time. Hazel evaluates the reef-safe sunscreen situation with full attention, finds the category more rigorous than expected, endorses three specific products, then sits beside Blanche above the most beautiful water on earth and says nothing.
