A woman awakens 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
sitting 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 watches as
he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
"What's the matter, dear?" she asks tenderly as she steps into the room.
"Why are you down here at this time of night?"
The husband looks up from his coffee.
"Do you remember when we were first dating, we were so young?" he asks.
"Yes, I do," she replies.
The husband continues, his voice brimming with emotion. "Do you remember
when your father caught us in the back seat of my car making love?"
= "Yes, I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside
him. The husband continues. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in
my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I'll see that you go to
jail for 30 years?'"
"I remember that," she replies softly, taking his hand.
He wipes a tear from his cheek and says, "I would have gotten out today."
