I don’t think KB was expecting PF at noon(ish) on Thanksgiving Day, for several reasons:
1) If she was expecting him to pick up only the baby, she would have waited until after that to go to Safeway. It’s way easier to shop without a baby in tow.
2) If she was expecting him to pick up both herself and the baby, she would have already been “around,” hair fixed, etc.
3) If she was expecting him over for a casual Thanksgiving lunch together at home, she would have done her shopping earlier in the day.
I don’t think she was expecting PF at that time of day. Maybe she was expecting him later in the afternoon or evening, or maybe she wasn’t expecting him at all. I suppose he could have contacted her unexpectedly that morning, which facilitated a quick trip to Safeway, in prep for unexpected company or lunch plans. But I don’t think a noon-time visit, dinner, or baby pick-up was pre-planned for that day. MOO
