Yes! It also happens at the end of the book. Bella had practiced temporarily removing her shield from her body. It's very hard to do...and it almost immediately snaps back. She has to really concentrate to do it. But it was enough time for Edward to read her thoughts. It was the first time he was able to do that. Edward wanted Bella to do it again...but she said she'd have to wait...it takes a lot of her energy and concentration to do this.
