"No."

Seeing that she was not amused, Adam changed the subject. "Almost ready. How about setting the table?"

As they ate he tried another approach. "Why don't you invite Tom to have dinner here tomorrow? Cops don't make a lot of money."

"You are so thoughtful," Rachel murmured. "Are you offering to cook?"

"You don't think I would be rude enough to horn in on a date, do you? I will remain tactfully in my room."

"You can remain tactfully anywhere you like. I am not going to invite him here. You surely aren't worried about Tom; a policeman is the safest escort I could have."

"I'm afraid he'll rescue you before I have a chance to," Adam said seriously. He wound the last strands of spaghetti around his fork and popped them neatly into his mouth. Rachel had to admit his technique was refined; not a drop of sauce dripped. Catching her eye, Adam swallowed and reached for a napkin.

"Did I dribble? I'll get rid of the beard if you find it unsanitary."

"I don't want to have anything to do with your beard," Rachel said. "I don't even want to discuss it. Do you want coffee? Sit still, I'll get it. And I'll do the dishes. That's only fair."

After she had cleared the table she called Tom. He wasn't there, so she left a message saying she would see him at seven the next evening. They watched television for a while, or pretended to watch; Rachel knew Adam was paying as little attention as she. He didn't even join in the canned laughter. Finally she removed one of the ubiquitous cats from her lap and began unpacking the carton of books.
