Teacher's Pet

When is a date not a date?

When you don't dress up. When you ask your roommate along. When your companion has scored zero on the compatibility part of the test you and your friend have secretly given him. Arlie Cooper was almost positive she wasn't dating Seal Beach police chief Con Willoughby. And that thought brought her nothing but relief.

Con was a dog person who'd yawned through Arlie's report of a curious case of cat kidnapping. Arlie wasn't in the habit of dating men who aggravated her. Or was it that she wasn't in the habit of dating men who'd scored a perfect ten on sex appeal?
