Advent Drabble 23 - Teenage Lucky

Arthur had been typically pragmatic in his teenage parenting approach. “We cannot expect her to tell us everything, Eames. Who tells everyone everything? Everyone has secrets. We cannot condemn her for keeping secrets sometimes.”
Eames agreed, because he had despised hypocrisy in his parents and had vowed never to be that kind of father (when being a father at all became a possibility).
Then Lucky met The Boy, and Arthur hired a world-class assassin to follow him. “Don’t hurt him. Just tell us what you think.”
Eames didn’t even think this was overkill. He thought this was merely more pragmatism.
