Chapter 16 Summary: “The Knot”

Bella sleeps peacefully while Edward watches. He leaves before Bella wakes up so he can wait for her to get ready. When Edward meets Bella at the door, he is amused to see that they are wearing matching outfits. They go to Bella’s car, where Edward reluctantly lets her take the driver’s seat. Edward tells her that they are taking a hike, which clearly concerns Bella. To Edward’s displeasure, Bella has not told Charlie of her plans. She was concerned and wanted to make sure there would be no trouble for the Cullens if she did not make it out alive. Bella’s disregard for her own safety makes Edward mad. When they arrive at the trailhead, Edward leads Bella into the woods. Bella is still concerned about hiking, but Edward promises to keep them on the right path. Their path through the forest is easier for Edward, since he knows from Alice’s vision that the real danger lies in the meadow ahead. As they walk, Bella tells Edward more about her childhood. Eventually they come to the meadow. Bella walks in first and Edward follows.
