QUOTE : Ted's gait appeared confident and his carriage loose, but she could tell how he, too, hid his determination and anxiety about his future. She was more like Ted than Ella. He tried hard, and so did she; the difference between them was that he'd already figured out what he wanted in this life—money, status, and power—and she wasn't so sure about the things she wanted, preferring pride, control, and influence. Yet what each sought was related, much like first cousins.
