After chatting with Mary Dixon, Lara decided to change the topic and talk about the weather. She had revealed enough, so her new friends weren't going to trust the press.
With their net of gossip, they would spread this new story - maybe with some embellishments. That wouldn't stop the press, but it might have helped with Nate's social circle.
She wanted him to have no effects from any scandal concerning her or the cubs. Alone, she could do nothing. But it was her duty to attempt amortising the impact.
«Oh, you came here for the paintings,» Mary Dixon remembered at some point.
«That's right. I brought with me a pair of extra eyes to choose one. Nate said we definitely need one for the living room.»
«So, you two cohabit. You and your two kids,» Mary confirmed.
«Yes, we do.»
«And how is it? Living next to Nate Woods, I mean.»
