"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.

The magnificent night view took her breath away. Her gasping echoed in the quiet night. She crossed the back street behind the building, and stood in the side road, taking in the amazing view in front of her.

She jumped a bit when she felt something being draped over her exposed shoulder. She glanced back and saw Jiro without his leather jacket for he already put it on her shoulder. Just like what he said - that he will give her his jacket if they reached the place where he wanted her to see.

"Yes, it's breathtaking," she whispered. She couldn't tear her eyes from the view.

"Come here," he tugged her elbow, closer to the edge. There were steps going down where on the landing, she saw a bench.
