Why don't you want to be secretive? It wouldn't hurt to be somewhat mysterious to W without having to lie.

You could just say "I'm just going out for a little" or "I'm just meeting a friend" when the kids ask. That's generally what me and W say when kids ask in our situation.

We don't ask each other directly either way. Kids sometimes ask "who? or Where?" afterwards, and we just tell them don't worry about it.
