Chapter 198: You're Such A Dork

A white cat with black patches came over and curled itself around Roman's ankles as he stood there in a stupor. He knew that its name was Domino but he was also fairly certain he had never owned a cat. 

All of this was making his head hurt. He suddenly felt suffocated by his tie too. He needed to get out of these clothes and into something more comfortable. Maybe that would help him get his head on straight.
