"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

"You will make one for me?" He grabbed her shoulder as though he couldn't believe what she said. His eyes were twinkling with excitement. "Can I choose what I want, please?" He gave her a begging look.  Which was unnecessary, to be honest. Watching him being so excited was enough for Laurie to say yes to his request.

Of course, she didn't tell him that, there is no way she could say no to his soft brown eyes. She just nodded at his request. She doesn't want to let him know that she was also eager with the idea of painting something for him.

She was thinking that she could do something for him before she left. He doesn't have to know but she wanted to leave something behind for him. As a parting gift...a memento.

"So, what do you want me to paint for you? I still have free time." She watched his face as he put his index finger under his chin, thinking.
