“oh my god, they have a flamingo floatie.”
Bluu was in the grocery store with Rachel before realizing that, except for canned soup and more instant coffee, she needed to figure out what to prepare for such a long time without power in the middle of a rain storm. It wasn't even October yet, and Mother Nature was already going off the rails.
Even more disconcerting, the general store wasn’t exceptionally crowded. Indeed, something of this magnitude shouldn’t be taken lightly, even though there hadn’t been an official weather announcement on Rachel’s phone or the radio or even an emergency siren sounding on the town’s loudspeakers. So whatever was going to happen—if it was going to happen—not many people knew about it yet. Bluu started to bypass the produce section. There was no need to buy anything perishable. But still, as she passed the bananas, she grabbed a bunch. They’d get eaten in the next couple of days, and damn it; she wanted to make a banana smoothie for Rachel at least before they went bad. And oranges. They’d need the vitamin C. It had to be a false alarm. Bluu prayed it was a false alarm, that nothing would happen, and that her RV would be untouched.
“oh my god, they have a flamingo floatie.”
Halfway down the aisle, Bluu thought, “Ah, what the hell,” and turned around to replace the bananas and oranges with the brightly pink floatie perched innocently sideways in the stand. “If you like it so much, I’ll buy it,” Bluu said, gently squeezing Rachel’s hand. “Maybe we can use it to float downstream once the storm passes.”

Fun Facts About Esther Rivers
Tumblr media
-) Esther doesn't precisely hate Bluu; mother and daughter have a complicated relationship and are much more capable of antagonizing each other. It's a twisted form of love language that continues until Bluu becomes an adult.
-) Despite their strained relationship, Esther and Bluu appear to have a much closer relationship now that Bluu is an adult and understand each other much better. It's just that they're constantly tearing strips off each other. One time, Esther confessed to Bluu that she never wanted to be her mother, only to immediately say that she loves her so much and is glad she had her.
-) Esther doesn't believe in seances, ghosts, or the occult and thinks Bluu dropping out of college to live on a strange island and her rantings about her being a reincarnated God is the result of Bluu having a nervous breakdown. Not even the strange happenings that surrounded Bluu as a child were enough to convince Esther that her daughter is not entirely human. Esther is blissfully and willfully unaware.
