"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.

The backseat of the car went silent after that. Haru can clearly see that Laurie wasn't fine. After the phone call that she received, her mood changed. She tried to keep it to herself, acted like everything was fine but even Dominic didn't buy the cheerful smile that she wore the whole time they were at the studio, watching the boys do their own thing.

They are on the way home now. If it was just her choice, she would like to stay longer but then, when Laurie stood up to use the restroom, Dominic told her that she should take Laurie home.

"What was the phone call about for your mood to be ruined like that?" She couldn't stop herself but asked.

She Ain't Playing
