A woman wakes up in the middle of the night and notes that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and leaves the bedroom. He sits at the kitchen table in front of a cup of coffee - deep in thought ... stares only against the wall.
You can observe how it runs a tear from his eyes and he takes a swig of his coffee. "What's wrong, honey? Why are you sitting at this time in the kitchen?" she asks him.
"Do you remember when we had our first date 20 years ago? You were just 16!" he asks her.
"But yes!" she replies.
"Do you remember that your father caught us when we made love on the back seat of my car?"
"Yes, I remember well that I will never forget."
"Remember also, as he holded his to my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter or you walk for the next 20 years into prison!'?"
"Oh yeah!" she says
He wipes another tear from his cheek and says, "You know ... today I would have been dismissed!"
