"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

Terrence Choi - is the man that was sitting next to Laurie on the wooden bench inside the almost empty gallery.

She never expected to see Terrence today at the same time, she never thought to see Dominic today after meeting him a few hours ago with Haru and her husband. If someone would tell her that, there will be a day when both her exes would be in the same building with her, she won't believe them.

When she broke up with her exes, she made sure to lose all contact with them - well, except for Terrence. After he dumped her to chase his career, Laurie ran after him as if her life depended on it.

She chased Terrence for a few years, even when she was already in London. She would find time to fly to Korea or to wherever Terrence's group would perform. She would watch out for his career, she even watched their live concert once in Singapore.
