Literally Reassuring You

(My now-husband and I are in the car on the way to our wedding. We are both already dressed up, and he has the HVAC blasting so he won’t get sweaty in his suit. After awhile.)

Me: “Don’t be scared when I say this, but I need to turn down the air conditioning.”

Now-Husband: “Why would that scare me?”

Me: “I need to turn it down because, in a completely literal and non-figurative way… I’m getting cold feet.”
