Midnight Sun
In Midnight Sun, Edward observes her thoughts and notices that she is easily dazzled by him and often thinks about him in a romantic way. He considers murdering her so to be able to drink Bella's blood, when she walked into the small, warm school office. Later on, when trying to dazzle her, Edward wonders why Bella's reactions could not be more like Ms. Cope's.
