Excerpt – Opening Scene (SPOILER ALERT)
âVous avez un cancer du sein.â
Translation: âYou have breast cancer.â Four words no woman wants to hear.
It was on the night of the grand opening of my Paris hotel one week ago and after a long day, while taking a shower, I felt a small lump in my right breast.
After several tests and a biopsy, Dr. Benneteau, the oncologist calledâŚ
Days later, I still canât get over the shock.
As I stare at the gray clouds that cover the Eiffel Tower, my phone rings, snapping me out of my thoughts. My husband Jonathanâs face illuminates my screen.
âHey, baby. How are my two favorite men in the world?â
âOverwhelmed. I just had a break and I wanted to be sure I checked in with you. Any idea when youâre going to be home?â
Not anytime soon.
âApart from seeing your handsome face and my sweet son for a couple days, I really canât rationalize flying across the Atlantic for two days. I have to head over to Austria to make sure everything is on schedule with the property there.â
âI miss my wife, and Jordan misses his mom.â
My chest aches at the sound of his words. âIf you really want, Iâll come home but it would be so much less pressure on me if I just stayed.â
He sighs at the end of the line and mumbles a disgruntled, âOkay.â
âItâs not like youâd have time for me either if I came, is it? You couldnât even make the grand opening of Paris Bleu. All youâve been telling me is how crazy it has been trying to get everything in place at the various branches of the firm.â
âThatâs true. I just miss you thatâs all. Things just seem so much easier to handle when youâre here.â
His words warm my heart. âI miss you too. Iâll be home as soon as I am able, I promise. In the meanwhile we always have FaceTime. But donât you ever forget how much I love you.â
âI love you too, babe. I have to go. Iâll be in touch soon.â
I end the call.
I may not have gotten over the shock of my diagnosis, but from the moment I found the lump, Iâve spent all my time researching it, and I have another appointment with the doctors this afternoon.
Jonathanâs been overwhelmed of late since his sister Megan moved to Switzerland and his right-hand man, Cooper, lost his wife after a battle withâbreast cancer. I donât want to worry him. Besides, itâs just stage two breast cancerâŚor at least that is what I continue to tell myself.
I have already made up my mind about what Iâm going to doâhandle it on my own. Have a double mastectomy so this never ever resurfaces again and tell my husband when I get home. That way, the problem will be handled; theyâll see that Iâm healthy and we can all just move on with our lives. Iâll be saving them the agony of going through this anywayâŚ
