"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

She lifted her hand in front of her face to look at the ring that Jiro slid in her ring finger. "Are you sure about this?"

"Prolly not," he laughed at her silly question and lifted her up to his lap. He snaked his arms around her waist and propped his chin on her shoulder when she leaned back on his chest.

"I'm just asking in case you take it back."

"I won't take it back. I would add another one, instead." He kissed her jawline which made her giggle and squirmed in his arms because her jaw was ticklish.

She bit her lower lip when the realization hit her. She had been acting like a foolish girl who got her first engagement ring—which wasn't the case. She had been parroting Jiro's words as though she had no thought of her own.

"Yes, that one…if you let, just like what your mother said." He said in a hushed voice. The playfulness in his voice was gone.
