"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

Laurie sighed with satisfaction as she surveyed her work. It has been tedious work but now that is over, she never felt so satisfied finishing something. She chuckled lightly to herself, in the beginning, she decided to start painting again as a whim and as an excuse to leave the Nakamura's household without her mother claiming she had manners.

She was able to leave Nakamura's household without a hitch, thanks to Haru's help. But thinking about it now, it's funny to know that the apartment Haru lent her was not really used since she spent a lot of time here at Jiro's place. Since she came back from Korea there are less than five instances that she was at her place.

She is always here, painting, eating...sleeping with Jiro. She bit her lower lip, since they slept together, the next just happened as if they are the most normal thing to happen between the two of them.
