Ophelia avoided Dante until night fell upon the town and it came time for her to go to his chamber. As fun as it was to eat dinner with the knights, Ophelia arranged for the dinner to be brought to Dante's chamber.
To thank Dante for the garden and all that he did for her throughout the day, Ophelia decided to give in to his request a little by spending a bit of time in his chamber.
Ophelia stood outside Dante's chamber and built the courage to knock on his door. Neither Thomas nor Alice was at Ophelia's side since she sent them to have their dinner.
Ophelia waited patiently for Dante to come to the door, and when he finally did, Ophelia looked away.
"I did not know you were having your bath," Ophelia said, being polite not to stare.
"You are still welcome to speak to me. It won't take long for me to get dressed. Come inside," Dante said, making room for Ophelia to enter. "I prefer the woman who once said we saw each other on our wedding night, so she doesn't need to be shy."
