"So long as you've learned your lesson," Mick assured his daughter fondly, before turning his eye on Tatum again. "You're sure you haven't been smoking?" he asked again, just to be sure. Trying not to pale, she shook her head quickly. "N-No way dad, I.. I w-wouldn't, honestly."

It felt sort of bad to lie to him, but it wasn't the first time. And besides that, she spent every day of her life lying to herself and others, just for him. She made her sacrifices. They were even.

"Good. I know that we raised wiser children than that," he nodded.
