I realized Peter had also been reborn when he turned four.
Unlike my past life, Rosie had spent the last four years as a full–time mom, juggling two kids.
Back then, she was polished and confident, climbing the corporate ladder. She’d flat–out refused to have a second child, choosing to pour all her love into Phoebe.
Now? She was exhausted, overweight, and four months pregnant–still dragging herself out of bed early to cook, run errands, and deal with an increasingly bratty Phoebe and a frail, mute adopted son.
Stuart, of course, cared about his illegitimate kid. Rosie? Not so

More than once, I overheard him snapping at her over the phone, accusing her of failing to control Phoebe, blaming her for letting Peter get bullied under her own roof
