Despite the early hour on a Saturday, the Bellory Cafe branch at Century Hotel is filled with customers. Ava intended to purchase coffee and pastries to bring to Ash's father upon their arrival at the Brighton Mansion.
Yawning in the car, Ash waited for Ava while she insisted he take a nap while she placed their takeout order. He had a restless night, unable to sleep well due to his thoughts on how to introduce Ava to his father.
Although he didn't verbally object to their relationship when it was first mentioned, his father isn't someone who offers unconditional support to his child, which made him hesitant. The thought of his father behaving rudely in Ava's presence worried him, as it might compel him to make choices he's not inclined towards.
