What Elias had no idea of, was that Axel was already planning to bring Ollie to the coffee shop anyway, even without knowing that he would have to wait. Long before his work ended, he had messaged his driver, asking him to pick the boy up first, and then come to the Drip Point.
After all, while he might have had a crush on River, Ollie was still his priority in every aspect, and that naturally included his choice of a potential future spouse. It was important for him to give River and Ollie as many opportunities to grow closer as possible, in order to make sure that River would make a good step-parent. He was already thinking about what other ways he could come up with to make sure that River could spend time with Ollie…
All while having absolutely no idea that it was exactly what 'River' wanted the most.
