20 Years

A lady woke up during the night and realized her husband was not in the bed beside her. So she searched the house looking for him and found him sitting at the kitchen table staring forlornly into a cup of coffee. He was deep in thought. She saw him wipe a tear from his eye.

"What's the matter dear? Why are you down here at this time of night?" she asked.

"Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating and you were only 16?" he asked.

"Yes I do."

"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?"

"Yes I remember."

"Do you remember your father when he shoved that shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or spend twenty years in jail?"

"Yes I do."

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "You know I would have gotten out today."
