Examples

““Hey, sweet thing. Did that catch impress you?” “You always impress me, Frankie. What's Garth doing at quarterback?” Jilly asked.”

““Here you go, sweet thing.” Megan snatched the bottle Danielle offered, sucked greedily, gazing up with great goggle eyes. Danielle; smoothed a lick of blond fuzz at the apex of the baby's; silky forehead, murmured soft, sleepy-time words that flowed so naturally, an onlooker would never believe that she hadn't borne the child herself.”

““Everyone is gone now, sweet thing. Follow my lead.” He stared in her eyes and made sure she was hearing what he was saying. “In.” He took a deep breath in. “Out,” he continued when he knew she was doing as he said. A couple more times and it looked as though she might make it without passing out on him.”
