"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

Laurie slapped Jiro's chest for he won't stop squeezing her butt.

"What? I miss you!" He grinned, pulling her back to his side.

"But it doesn't mean that you have to keep on kneading my butt as if you're going to make bread!"

"Speaking of bread, are you hungry?"

She pushed herself up and looked down on Jiro. "What happened to you?"

"What do you mean?" His hand was sliding up and down her arm for Laurie didn't let herself be pulled down back to bed.

"Your fridge is empty as well as your pantry." She looked around the room, "and you house, when did you last clean?"

Jiro reached for her cheek and gently caressed it. "I can't stay here after you leave. This house became suffocating."

Laurie was speechless and she stared at Jiro as if she was seeing him for the first time.

"I stayed with my parents or with Joe…sometimes in the studio—"
