"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

"Nicky," she said with an awkward grin. She was caught off guard and rendered speechless other than calling his name, she found no words to deny what he was implying.

She didn't follow him because if she knew that he would be here, she wouldn't accept January's invitation to attend this art exhibit.

Dominic doesn't like visual arts. He was the last person she expected to see in this kind of place. Thus, it came as a surprise to see him here. Not to mention that a few hours ago they just saw each other. She cried like a crazy human inside a taxi and let the taxi driver judge her through the rearview mirror.

So, to say that he doesn't want to see Dominic now was an understatement.

Dominic took a step forward, drinks in hand, a smile that could melt a weak resolve was playing on his lips, and Laurie is nothing but weak.
