You Don't Know Me (2012)
“As if, by keeping it secret, the cancer couldn’t really touch her. Sure, it still lurked inside her—she felt certain that Dr. Walgren would confirm it today at her appointment—but as long as she kept smiling, kept passing the roast and potatoes last night, kept meeting Frank’s eyes with a smile, it simply couldn’t be true.

Oh, he had her thinking about all the things she still wanted to do. Go on a cruise. Repaint her house. Maybe write a recipe book on pies—apple pies.
Maybe even make a few more family meals like last night. She’d wanted to weep with the joy of her family around the table. And Colleen’s boyfriend seemed so nice, the way he walked Colleen back to her house, kissed her on the cheek.MoreLess
