"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

"Are you sure you want to start painting today?"

"Jiro, yes. The answer is yes. How many times do you have to ask the same question?"

He followed Laurie in between the aisle of art supplies while carrying a basket full of whatever caught her eyes.

Laurie turned around to face the worried Jiro. "I can sleep on your couch if I'm sleepy, right?"

"You can sleep in my bed." He grinned, mischievously.

She rolled her eyes and turned her back to Jiro and busied herself by checking more brushes on the shelf. She couldn't tell Jiro that the reason why she was in a hurry to start painting his studio was that she was on a tight schedule.
