You should try something like this..

I can only try such daring trip with a guy alone. But with a lady, a million and one things will be going through my mind because I would not only be worried for my life, I’ll also be worried for the lady as well…

That’s why I love the fact that you put up a brave front for him and also encouraged him because if you had panic, he would loose all concentration thinking about you and the kids at that moment
