"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

They exchanged glances and grimaced at how they looked. Their makeup was ruined, the material of their dresses was wet and clinging to their body.

Without a word, they both walked to the bathroom counter to wash their faces. They don't have a makeup remover so they make do with what's inside the bathroom, which was a generic facial wash in a cutesy bottle.

They have no idea what's the ingredients of the said facial wash, they just hope whatever is in the facial wash won't give them skin reactions.

Laurie washed her face with mostly cold water and used just a tiny bit of facial wash to clean her face. She was still adamant about using products that she wasn't familiar with and not the ones she was using in her face. But with her current situation, she doesn't have much choice.

It's Dangerous!
