Nothing is quite what it seemed -- and that is exactly the point. The bedroom is warm and amber-lit, the sheets cream and inviting, and Hayley Marie Coppin is already on the bed when the story begins, knees sinking into the soft linen, her back to you. She is wearing sheer seamed stockings that trace the full length of her legs, a barely-there nude lace thong, and nude heels that say she dressed for the occasion -- though perhaps not the occasion you expected. She does not rush to turn around. She takes her time, letting the warmth of the lamp and the silence of the room do all the talking, while you try to remember how to breathe.
When she does finally look back over her shoulder, the expression she wears is all the explanation the title needs. Things seemed a certain way, and then Hayley happened. The lingerie comes away slowly -- lace edge by lace edge, stocking by stocking -- until there is nothing between her and the bedsheets but that devastating smile. She stretches out in the amber glow, all golden skin and easy sensuality, completely comfortable in the privacy of a moment that somehow feels both deeply intimate and impossibly beautiful.
