scoop - is this you

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.She puts on her dressing gown and goes downstairs to look for him.
She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He’s 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 whispers 'Why are you down here at this time of night ?'

He says, 'I am just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 15. Do you remember back then?' he says solemnly.
The wife is touched thinking that her husband is so caring, so sensitive.'Yes, I do' she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.
'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?'
'Yes, I remember!' said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

He continues. 'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'

'I remember that too' she replies softly.
He wipes another tear from his cheek and says ...
'I would have been released today'.
