Midnight Sun

When Edward arrives in Port Angeles, he tries tracking Bella through Jessica and Angela’s thoughts, although he eventually loses track of her. Edward drives around town searching for Bella, when suddenly he finds the thoughts of a group of predatory men surrounding her. Edward immediately goes to rescue Bella, thinking about how he could torture the leader. When he drives onto the scene, Bella jumps into his car and Edward drives away. He immediately wants to kill the men, but cannot, because he does not want to scare Bella. As he drives away, he thinks about his past time as a vigilante, and asks Bella to distract him until he calms down. Once distracted, Edward realizes he cannot kill the men at all because Bella deserves a better person than that.

Edward and Bella find Jessica and Angela, who have already eaten. Edward insists on getting Bella dinner, and he can tell from Jessica’s thoughts that she is extremely interested in finding out more about Edward from Bella. Edward takes Bella to a restaurant, arranging for them to sit in a private space while ignoring the hostess’s advances. When they sit down, Bella criticizes Edward for dazzling other people, adding that he frequently dazzles her.
