A woman awakens during the night to find her husband was 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 wiped a
tear from his eye and takes a sip of his
coffee. "What's the matter, dear?",
she whispers as she steps
into the room. "Why are you down here at this time
of the night?".
The husband looks up from his coffee, "Do you remember
20 years ago
when we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly.
"Yes, I do" she replies.
The husband paused. The words were not
coming easily. "Do you
remember when your father caught us in the back seat
of my car
making love?".
"Yes, I remember," said the wife, lowering
herself into a
chair beside him.
The husband continued. "Do you
remember when he shoved the shotgun in
my face and said, "Either you marry
my daughter, or I'll send you
to jail for 20 years?"
"I remember
that too" she replied softly. He wiped another tear from
his cheek and said,
"I would have gotten out today."
