A woman wakes up in the middle of the night and realizes that her husband is not in bed.
She gets up and finds him in the kitchen. The man is staring blankly while drinking coffee, his mind far away. And there are tears running down his face.
"What's wrong, my love?" the woman asks.
"Do you remember our first date 20 years ago?" the man says.
"Of course," the woman replies.
"We were 16 back then. Your father caught us making out in the back seat."
"Yes, I remember."
"Do you also remember your father pointing his gun at my face and saying, 'You will either marry my daughter or spend 20 years in prison'?"
"How could I forget…"
The man wipes the tears from his cheek and says:
"You know… I would've been getting out of prison today…"
