stashing
Tucking away safely
Stashing is the act of hiding or storing something away, typically for later use or to keep it safe.
The word implies tucking things out of sight rather than displaying them: She's been stashing cash under the mattress, He was stashing snacks in his desk drawer.
In relationships, stashing refers to keeping a partner hidden from friends and family—a form of secret dating.
