Chloe Vevrier On Location Key Largo < CONFIRMED >

The next set was on a small sandbar fifty yards offshore. The water was only waist-deep, crystal clear. Chloe waded out, the green of her bikini disappearing into the turquoise. The crew followed in a small flat-bottomed boat. Jean-Luc lay on his stomach at the bow, his camera just inches above the water.

Chloe laughed—a real, unguarded laugh that echoed across the flat water. She dipped her hands into the sea, let the water run over her arms, her shoulders. For a moment, she felt completely unburdened. No poses. No expectations. Just salt, sun, and the gentle rhythm of the tide.
