Thanatos scowled at his desk. At the checklist bold upon the dark glassy surface. It can’t be true. his marriage to Hermes wasn’t in danger. He had to be wrong about his songbird. 

I’m gonna give myself a damn stroke. I’m freaking out over nothing!

Thanatos folded the well-worn paper and bent to shove it deep into his bag on the floor. A commotion at the glass door of his office made him pull up sharply, crashing the bag of his head into the underside of his desk. With his eyes squinched tight against the sharp sting and ache, he leaned back into his chair. 

“Angel, are you okay?!” Thanatos blinked through tear-hazy eyes at a mango rocking back and forth on his desk. That hadn’t been there before....

Hermes peered at him, bending to look into his face. Thanatos gulped. Surely such a darling creature couldn’t be a cheater....

“I’m fine, Magpie.”

Hermes simpered, playing up his pet name and preening. “Because of the mango?! Angel, the caf had absolutely no ranch; what’s a god to do for lunch without ranch?!?”

He’s not having an affair. Stop listening to Minthe already, you idiot....
