A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She puts on her ローブ and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the キッチン 表, テーブル with a cup of coffee in front him. He appears deep in thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of coffee.

"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are あなた down here at this time of night?"

The husband looks up, "Do あなた remember 20 years 前 when we were dating, and
あなた were only 17?" he asks solemnly.

The wife is touched thinking her husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes, I do," she replies.

The husband pauses. The words are not coming easily. "Do あなた remember when
あなた father caught us in the back シート, 座席 of my car?"

"Yes, I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues..."Do あなた remember when he shoved a shotgun in my face and said, "Either あなた marry my daughter, または I will send あなた to jail for 20 years".
"I remember that too", she 返信 softly.

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