"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

Jiro came home to a quiet apartment. He scoffed when the first thing that came to mind when he entered the door was what Laurie had been doing and then, just as the thought came to mind, he remembered Laurie was no longer staying in his apartment. He didn't even know where she was.

He has been working on autopilot. Doing what was asked of him, functioning as if everything was okay but at the back of his mind, Laurie was all he could ever think about. He went to the recording studio but Bella wasn't home. She and the youngest Nakamura are the only friends of Laurie that he knows of.

However, he has a feeling that the youngest Nakamura won't say anything to him. He met her in a few instances and one thing he could say about her was--she's not friendly. That's why he would rather talk to Bella. But then, when he went there Bella wasn't home.
