Sandra (Harem Path 1)

Tom found himself sitting in the bank branch downtown the next morning, having finished dropping off the girls at school, and it was something of a shock to walk in to his normal branch and be greeted by several people he had known for years. The change in demeanor, though, was remarkable, especially since he was now a rather well-off doctor instead of a freelance photographer (And the size of his accounts alone on some of the invoices were enough to make him seriously wonder why he did one and not the other.)

"Let's see..." The woman noticed that there was one office still open and motioned for him to follow her. Tom did so until they reached the office and as the woman knocked on the door, he had to cover a smile as Sandra inside blinked in surprise first to see her supervisor standing there and then, when she spotted him, let out a small "yeep" and hopped out of her chair a bit too quickly, knocking several pieces of paper onto the floor. "Sandra? You okay?"

"Oh, you're Amorina's father?"

He nodded and looked at the older woman who suddenly seemed very much interested in him. "Yes, name's Tom."

"I'm Melanie Romano, my daughter Sheila is on the swimteam with your younger daughter."

"Let me know if you need any additional help, okay?" Tom nodded to her and the woman excused herself before he turned back to look at Sandra who had watched the exchange between her supervisor and him with a bit of...well...
