city of love

hello fetchlings!! happy wednesday! this is a request fill for @NoaAvrahami6 who requested the art freaks going on a long vacation/ road trip. there's a also a scene for a request from @aster-alpine who wanted them to swim with dolphins :)

also, quick note. i have done absolutely nothing they do in this story, so i apologize for any inaccuracies. i have now definitely learned the lesson to 'write what you know'. i did as much research as my brain could handle and now i know more than i ever wanted to about the venus de milo.

quick tw for panic attacks. but otherwise, enjoy!

Janis is scheming.

Cady is a week away from completing her PhD in mathematics. All she has left to do is defend her dissertation and publish her work, and then she'll find out if the last four years of work have been worth it. She deserves presents.

Janis has two ideas. The first, is a dog. They have a cat, which Cady had agreed to adopting as a get-well present when Janis had broken her arm several years ago. Elvira is well-loved and very spoiled, but Cady has been begging for a dog. No time like the present. Janis found a reliable rescue breeder who recently had a litter of golden retriever puppies, and would be taking Cady to pick one soon.

Her second idea is a trip. Cady loves to travel, but has been so busy for the last several years that they haven't gotten an opportunity to go any further than their trips back home to Illinois since their honeymoon in Kenya. Janis has family on her father's side in France, that she also hasn't been able to see in several years.

So, she's booking a flight, also deciding to let Damian come as a surprise. He had recently landed the lead role in a revival of Little Shop of Horrors on Broadway, so he deserves a present too. He doesn't start rehearsals for another few months, which gives Janis the perfect window of opportunity.

She finds a flight with a few seats available for the evening Cady will (hopefully) receive her degree; a miraculously non-stop flight to Marseille, where her family lives. Janis figures they'll stop there for a few days, and then travel to Paris to see some of the more iconic sights.

Janis books the tickets, figuring it'll either be a happy surprise or a consolation trip, and knowing it's very likely to be the former. She clears her browser history after, in case Cady gets an urge to snoop. Then, she figures she should probably let Damian know to prepare for an international trip in a week.
