A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She waches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.<br /><br />"What's the matter dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of night?"<br /><br />The husband looks up from his coffee. "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating and you were only 16?", he asks solemly.<br /><br />"Yes I do", she replies.<br /><br />The husband pauses....the words not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?".<br /><br />"Yes, I remember", says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.<br /><br />The husband continues, "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said "Marry my daughter or I'll send you to jail for 20 year"?<br /><br />"Yes, I remember that too", she says softly.<br /><br />The husband wipes another tear from his eye and replies, "I would have gotten out today".
