Hello.
This sentence is mine. The woman avoids telling her parents that her husband has cancer. I am not sure I used the verb "to stall" correctly. The second sentence is an improved version.
The young woman's mother suspects that something is wrong. The man is not terminally ill. He will recover. So the young woman is trying to hide the truth from her family. "This period" below refers to the time during which he is recovering.
"She can stall this period without telling the truth."
2."She can stall over/on this conversation." Or "She can stall this conversation."
I provided as much context as possible. I hope it's helpful.
