She loves Serena genuinely and admires her grace. She has even, on occasion, borrowed Serena's style. She carries her bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Theo has a secret, and it is a well-worn paperback. While Serena is planning seating charts, Theo is somewhere quiet with Wuthering Heights, reading the same passage for the fourth time and feeling deeply understood by it.
