"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

Her heart was beating like crazy. Like she took five shots of caffeine in one cup. She tried to steady her crazy heart by heaving a deep sigh.

"Uhm, Taka, I have a friend… his name is Andrei. Can you look for him on the dance floor? He might be looking for me."

"Sure, no worries," he answered, without looking at her.

She was sure that Andrei wouldn't look for him. She knew Andrei enough that he would just enjoy the night on his own.

The reason why she told Taka to look for Andrei was that she needed to say something to keep her heart from jumping out of her chest.

There were only two bands who performed tonight — Cinco and After Sex. And she's pretty sure that no members of Cinco would ever ask for her.

And that fact was making her so nervous. Because it only means that, it was After Sex that asked for her, and she didn't know anyone from that band other than Jiro.
