telling her “you’re doing such a good job” when she’s explaining something mundane, just to watch her completely lose her train of thought
casually saying “that’s my girl” when she hands me something, then pretending not to notice how flustered she gets.
correcting something she might’ve done improperly and following it with “good, see? you listen so well” like it’s the most normal thing in the world.
praising her for something small “you remembered” or “you’re so thoughtful” and enjoying how she suddenly can’t make eye contact.
leaning in while she’s busy mid task and whispering “you’re so cute when you focus” then watching her forget what she was supposed to do.
saying “there you go” after she does exactly what I asked, even if it was just sitting closer or following any order.
