Edward’s note makes it very clear that more than anything, he wants Bella to be safe. Indeed, this is why he’s hunting now (so he won’t be hungry tomorrow, thereby making Bella safer). As Bella putters around the house, it’s interesting to note that her obsession with Edward is confusingly tied up in pain. Her excitement almost hurts her, for instance, and she can’t help but wonder if becoming a meal for Edward would be painful. But again, because Bella is so in love with Edward, this seeming fear makes him even more compelling to her.
