a shallow well of courage

We stood in our kitchen, assembling burgers with everything we had left in the fridge and talking about my newly purchased pants. From here, somehow the conversation devolves into how my husband would 'never describe me as sexy.' He then digs deep inside himself to find the courage to ask me- his sexy, 27 year old wife- if I consider myself sexy? Which will last longer: his time in the dog house or this quarantine??
