"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

After leaving the exhibit, Laurie slowly made her way to their hotel. January hasn't replied to her message and she was a bit worried about what happened to her. But, she knew that if there was a problem, she would call or send a message.

And since there was nothing in particular that she was going to do, she simply walked around in a circle around their hotel. Walking aimlessly, she got tired and decided she wanted to have a bubble bath. That was the time that she headed back to the hotel.

Since it was already late, she didn't have to wait in a long line in the elevator lobby. When she got off the elevator on their floor, she was spinning the room key in her hand, her gaze was glued to the card key when she got startled by a man's shadow that slipped past the corner of her eyes.
