"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.

She blinked her eyes, and put down her phone slowly on the table.

"Are you okay? Is there something wrong with your mother?"

Bae knew the situation between her and her mother. Thus, when she saw the confusion on her face, despite the face paint and the lace covering half of her face, she could not help but ask out of worries and not just out of curiosity.

"She's fine but it was strange."

Hearing that she's fine, Bae chuckled with relief. "You and your mother have always been strange."

She glanced at Bae and said in a small voice. "It is stranger than usual. She did things she doesn't usually do. I'm scared of what could be the reason for it."

"She told me to check a link she sent me and to get back to her."

"Are you sure it was your mother who you talked to? Maybe it was someone pretending to be your mother and just wanting to phish your information out of you."
