"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

While sitting outside, in front of the open bath, drinking sake and staring at the moon, Laurie felt an overwhelming urge to open her phone and call Jiro. She wanted to know if he had already seen his recording studio and what he thought of the mural.

She wanted him to ask her where she was and for him to come to pick her up. But there's no way in hell that it would happen. With the way Rina was smirking, she has a feeling that she had told Jiro her own version of what happened between them in the past.

With her innocent face, the way her lips trembled and her eyes shone in shame, Rina had put every man on the top of her palm, dancing to her every whim. The way Jiro called her special friend, Laurie didn't dare to think that she would still have something left to say to him.
