"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

"Where have you been?" She asked as she put on a yellow summer dress.

Terrence paced the room and didn't reply to her question. He was biting his thumb, looked at his phone, opened it, and then put it down.

"Are you waiting for a call or something? My friend was asking me to grab some coffee at Central, wanna come?"

"Uhm," he shoved his hands in his back pocket and looked at her as if he just noticed her. "You were saying something?"

She clicked her tongue and grabbed her purse. "I've been asking you questions and you've been ignoring me!" She marched out of their hotel room and Terrence didn't even try to stop her. She was still mulling about his strange behavior but in the end, decided to shrug it off. Whatever problem he has is not her problem. She has enough on her plate to think about.
