"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

Bella rushed out to meet them the moment they entered the door. She looked harassed that Laurie couldn't help but wonder what could have happened with her.

"We went to a temple and ate Lawson's fried chicken. Is something the matter?" Andrei asked before Laurie could ask.

She watched Bella's hesitation with what Andrei said.

"Yeah, we just walked around the neighborhood and came upon an old temple. Why?"

She cleared her throat and it didn't escape Laurie's attention that Bella avoided Andrei's eyes.

'I was gone for a day and a night and something had happened.'

"Hideaki came looking for you," she said in a small voice.

"I wonder how his company survives if he has a lot of time visiting us, looking for me."

Can We Meet?
