The University of Edward Masen, Ch. 20
This was the first chapter that I felt like we weren't resting under Edward's heavy hand. Instead, I felt embraced, uplifted even. In many ways, I think that Edward in this chapter found and displayed the man he wants to be. Maybe the man he ALWAYS wanted to be but didn't have the incentive to be.
They are starting to explore their boundaries. Bella is allowing herself to believe in her desirability. That she is worthy of affection, whether it comes to her in words or actions...or gifts. Edward is lowering the pedestal a bit, and allowing Bella to be a woman to be touched and desired, yet you can FEEL that he truly cares for her. That he will keep the promises he is making.
Finally, there are still many secrets. They need to find the time to reveal their pasts to one another, realize that those things are not a shroud to hold them down, but a dark cloud that is being swept away by the sun that is emerging.
