An Absence In Spring

Emersyn Finnigan had always moved through life as though she were hollow, carried by the weight of expectations she never asked for. Adopted into a family polished to perfection, she learned that love could be whispered, withheld, or extinguished entirely.

Henry Choi has spent his life sculpted by duty, his every step measured against the needs of others. He knows the burden of responsibility, the loneliness of being expected to hold everything together, and of never being allowed to falter.

They meet under circumstances both ordinary and extraordinary. Two people forged by absence, grief, and the ghosts of what was meant to be, finding in each other a reflection of longing they did not know they could share.

An Absence in Spring is a story of fragile hearts, stolen moments, and the delicate bloom of connection in a world that has learned to deny it.
