The theme of trusting has been put across in most of the book so far. Edward finally decides to come clean about him being a vampire. He tells Bella up front that his whole family is vampires and that she should be somewhat frightened. However, Bella is not scared at all. In fact this intrigues her, and she finds herself happily amused. Bella's reaction on the other hand doesn't make Edward happy. He knows he will be able to trust her with all of her secrets now, but he is afraid for her dedication to him. He understands that she loves him. This saddens him because if it weren’t for his self control, she would otherwise die. The reason for this is because to him, she smells delicious and enchanting. He has never smelt anyone like her and knows he must keep her safe, because he too in return, loves her. Now they must trust each other to keep themselves together. Because of Edward’s secret and Bella’s delicate mortality they have to revolve their lives around the safety of the other.
Trusting someone can be a hard thing to do, especially for Edward because his secret is significant and shouldn’t have even been said to Bella. His life in Forks depends on Bella’s trust, being that if any other human found out about his family’s secret they would have to relocate somewhere far away. They would also have to start their lives all over again, and he wouldn’t be able to live with Bella. Trust is an important thing that is fragile and hard to give away. Yet Edward granted his trust in Bella.
