"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

The idea of Jiro giving her the rights only means one thing. A step closer to having a relationship and she didn't know if she wanted that right now. She had already decided to leave Tokyo and no longer pursue any relationship with Jiro.

A few days ago he was indecisive about having a clear understanding of their relationship and now he is saying he's giving her the rights. She couldn't help but chuckle. She shook her head with the irony of it.

When she wanted to put a label on their relationship, he couldn't decide. Not that she no longer wants it, he is saying that she can have the rights.

She looked up at Jiro and smiled. Her smile must have not reached her eyes for he looked disappointed.

'What does he expect?' She thought to herself.

An awkward silence felt in the room. When the minutes became suffocating, she heard Jiro chuckle awkwardly then ruffle her hair.
