Chapter 18 Summary: “Mind Over Matter”

When they drive to Bella’s house, both Bella and Edward are elated. Edward even sings along to the radio and finally tells Bella that he was born in 1901. He also explains how Carlisle transformed him, although he leaves out a lot of detail. Edward remembers vividly when Rosalie brought Emmett to Carlisle to be turned and how Emmett turned out to be a perfect match for her. Alice and Jasper, on the other hand, came to the Cullens of their own volition. Edward explains Alice’s abilities to Bella, then he tells Bella about other vampires. Back at Bella’s, Edward reveals that he has been watching Bella sleep, and she is initially horrified. Then she realizes that she has not said anything too embarrassing in her sleep. When Charlie comes home, Bella is not ready to introduce Edward to him, so Edward hides in her room. Edward can tell that Charlie thinks Bella is acting suspiciously. Charlie asks Bella if she is interested in any of the boys in town, such as Mike, and this makes Edward jealous. Bella denies this though and goes to bed. While she gets ready in the bathroom, Edward overhears Charlie disconnecting Bella’s truck. Bella also realizes that Charlie thinks she is going to sneak out, so she makes a big show of getting ready for bed.
