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 "but
why,why are you thinking about this now?"

He wipes a tear from his cheek and says, "I would have gotten
out today."
