There are mornings and then there are mornings. Hayley Marie Coppin and Candice Collyer are tangled in white bedlinen as the warm lamp light filters through the curtains, both of them in matching white cotton vest tops and pale knickers, both of them delightfully, stubbornly unwilling to be fully awake. Hayley stretches her long arms above the carved wooden headboard, Candice burrows her face into the pillow, and the two of them occupy the bed with the contented ease of two people who have absolutely nowhere to be and no intention of pretending otherwise. The morning belongs entirely to them.
And then, slowly, it begins to belong to everyone else too. Hayley peels her vest top up and over her head with sleepy, unhurried ease, and Candice follows with a lazy smile that says she's been awake the whole time. What unfolds across the white linen is tender and unhurried and utterly enchanting — two bodies in the warm morning light, every sheet and pillow a prop, the whole bedroom a soft-focus dream. By the time Hayley and Candice are bare and beautiful and still smiling, you'll never want the morning to end either.
