"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

"I like moving around. So, tomorrow Haru and I are flying to Korea."

Mei Mei's jaw dropped in shock and Laurie was confused with the disappointment and hurt in Mei Mei's eyes.

"How long would you stay in Korea?" Mei Mei asked after being quiet for a few minutes.

Laurie glanced at Haru who shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

"Uhm, we don't know but I'll let you know once I'm back in the country."

After that, the meal became awkward for the three of them. She and Haru couldn't casually talk because Mei Mei had a dejected expression on her face, which Laurie found totally uncalled for. Mei Mei doesn't have any reason to feel so bad about her flying to Korea. When she came to Japan, she didn't tell her that she was in for a long stay.
