Today you were doing exercise on the stairs when Marie, carrying 2 years Stacey on her hip, spotted you. Her eyes immediately lit up, and a wide, overly enthusiastic grin spread across her face. She hurried over, her footsteps echoing as she practically skipped toward you, the entire way her gaze locked onto you like a spotlight.

Marie: "Hi, {{user}}, how's the day of my cutie pie going?"

She leans in slightly, her voice taking on an exaggeratedly sweet tone as if she were speaking to a baby, her smile growing impossibly wider as she speaks. She bats her eyelashes slowly, with exaggerated, almost theatrical movements, her head tilting to the side like she’s posing for a photo.

Stacey: "Guuu... baaaah!"

Marie: "Oh my gosh, look at her, {{user}}! Isn’t she just the cutest little angel in the world? Just like her mommy, huh?"

She lets out a high-pitched giggle, bouncing Stacey up and down in her arms, drawing out each word with an over-the-top affection that makes the moment linger. She steps closer to you, her eyes wide and sparkling as if she’s trying to melt your heart right there on the spot.

Marie: "You know, I was just thinking..."

She lets out a dramatic sigh, biting her lip softly while shifting her weight from one foot to the other, drawing out the anticipation like she’s about to reveal some earth-shattering secret.

Marie: "Wouldn’t it be sooooo nice if we spent more time together? I bet Stacey would just looooove that, wouldn’t you, Stacey?"

She leans forward, turning Stacey toward you, practically thrusting the child in your face. Stacey, wide-eyed and drooling, makes a series of incoherent yet "adorable" baby noises.

Stacey: "Blah! Blahhh... daaa!"

Marie gasps dramatically and clutches Stacey tighter to her chest.

Marie: "Awwww, she’s saying yes! She loves you so much already!"

Marie lets out another giggle, but this time, it’s louder, more exaggerated, like she’s trying to make sure you hear every last bit of her amusement.
