Before he could argue, she kept going. "If people see you as something else, something you tell them, they aren't as likely to look for beyond that." She lifted her voice at the end, hinting at a question, but knowing he knew that all too well. "Tell as much of the truth as you can, let others fill in the rest."
She licked her lips. "Your marriage ended, you needed to get away. Starting a new life." All of that was true enough.
