"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.

Jiro left his apartment without hearing anything from Laurie. And that's the only time he realized that he didn't know any of her friends. She talked about them but he has not met any of them.

He sighed deeply as he closed the door behind him.

He just got off the elevator in the underground parking when he received a call from Rina's brother that she was missing.

He kicked the tire of his motorbike in frustration. He has no time for Rina's bullshit but he can't just do nothing.

He told Rina's brother that he didn't see Rina since he picked her up from Joe's house but his brother insisted that Rina went to his house according to her tracking device.

Apparently, Rina escaped from the center where her family was keeping her and the last place from her tracking device before they lost her was his apartment.
