"What the fuck did you send over, Nicky?" Laurie is screaming over the phone at six fucking  o'clock in the morning.

"It has a note. And I believe that the message was clear." the name Nicky answered.

"Well that's exactly, why I am asking!"  she exclaimed angrily, glaring at the innocently looking red leather pill box, that is instantly recognizable as a famous jewelry brand, sitting on her kitchen counter, with a note that says - I heard you cry over a guy, here's a small gift to let you know that I'd marry you anytime.

With the familiar scrawling penmanship in the white piece of paper, she would know who sent her the note, even without calling the guy on the phone.

***
When the guy you confessed to rejected you, and your two exes came back running—declaring they would marry you any time, what would you do?

Would you choose a familiar old love or the one that has your heart but doesn't want you?

And to add to the chaos, her mother is on a mission to marry her nearing thirty-something ass to any man who breathes. 

What should a girl do in such a situation? Run away, of course! 

But then, how far can you run away until all the life's decisions you screwed up in the past caught up with you and you ended up with no choice but to face them. 

Welcome to Laurie’s adventure and just to be clear this is not a love story BUT a quest.

Capture A Husband: My Asian Mother's Quest

She leaned back against the plush leather of the car. The family driver of the Nakamura's was playing some jazz music on the car stereo.

Yet, the music didn't fully register in her mind. She was thinking of what she could possibly do now that the talk of marriage was out in the open.

She knew that it wouldn't take long before her mother would call the old Nakamura, and then, he would call for her to have another talk.

She respects the friendship that their family developed over the years because of her and Mei Mei's friendship, however, she felt suffocated with the idea of confirming whatever was acceptable to avoid any problem between their families.

More than ever, Laurie found herself regretting her decision to run to Japan when her mother gave her the list of her potential husbands. She could have flown to Singapore or Hong Kong. Even Korea would be much better if she knew this situation would happen.

You Can't Leave!
