Peter had slept through Deirdre's 20th birthday. He hated that he hadn't been there for her since he knew how much he meant to Deirdre, but it hurt a hell of a lot more that he had been asleep for Rasputina's first birthday. His tiny daughter had turned one and he had slept right through it. Peter was thankful that Svetlana wasn't angry. Thankful that Thomas had done everything in his power to make the day a happy one for them both, to make up for Peter's absence. But it didn't make up for it in Peter's heart. He was probably going to feel guilty for that for the rest of his life. Which he was now realising might just be longer than 5 years. That, however, was a good thought.
