husband in wife's jail

A woman found her husband deep in thought in the middle of the night.
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 you down here at this time of night?"

The husband looks up, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were
dating, and you were only 17?" he asks solemnly.
"Yes, I do," the wife happily replies.

The husband pauses. "Do you remember when your father caught us in
the back seat of my car?"
"Yes I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues...
"Do you remember  when he shoved a 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 sobbingly says...
"I would have gotten out today!"
