"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

Laurie's palm hitting Jiro's left cheek stopped him from saying anything. She took the few minutes he was stunned from her slap to get out of his place and ran to the elevator.

She doesn't have an idea if the elevator was going to open for her, but with her clouded mind, it was the last of her worries. She was like a cornered animal that had only one goal left in her mind.

The elevator opened when she entered the numbers Jiro gave her to invite her to come up to his apartment.

She didn't want to give Jiro the time to explain because his rejection hurt her like she never imagined it would hurt. Maybe because it was the first time that a guy rejected her advances as he did.

Whatever the reason was, she doesn't care anymore. Right now, she just wants to get away from his sight because there is no way for her to face him after what happened.

Rather Hasty Decisions
