In Santa Monica, Winona had just came home from an audition and meeting with her agent, Marcus. She was just about to take off her shoes when the phone rings (so its like 3pm in santa monica and since england is 8 hours ahead bc of time zones its 11pm in england)

In England, Christian arrived at his hotel after his day of shooting. He picked up the phone and called Winona after getting ready for bed.

"This is Winona" She speaks into the cordless telephone after she picked it up and sat down on the couch.

"Hey" Christian exhales, smiling at the sound of her voice.

"Hey" She grins "How was shooting today?" Winona pinned the phone between her shoulder and ear, untying her shoelaces and taking off her shoes.

"Great!" He exclaims.

"What happened?" She leaned back into the backrest of the couch, Cricket greeting Winona and hopping onto the couch, beside her.

"So we were in this old castle set, I had pretend to catapult Kevin and Morgan over this brick wall. When the camera was on me I decided to add a line even though it might not have been historically accurate."

"What'd you say?" Winona laughs.

"I said 'Fuck me, he cleared it!'" Christian imitates his pretend accent for the movie, causing both of them to both burst into laughter.

"Imagine if they actually kept it in the movie"

"I'd be cool! I highly doubt it though. So how was your day? Or- How has it been so far"

"Well, I just came back from running some errands and a lunch with Marcus."

"Any new jobs?"

"A few, but He said that there's a role for this independent movie that Jim Jarmusch is making called Night on earth, written for me"

"That's amazing!"

"It is! I've never had a role written for me before"

They both talk to each other a bit more until Christian changes the subject.

"Did you get my gift by the way?" He asks.

"Uhm no, But did you get mine?" She asks back.

"No, what'd you get me?" Christian stood up and started looking around.

"Maybe it's somewhere in your hotel room, Kurt said that one of his assistants dropped it off there. What'd you get me?"

"Check the dining room, My mom dropped it off at the apartment today"

Winona stands up off the couch and made her way to the dining room, Cricket trailing behind her.

She gasps and smiles sweetly spotting the bouquet of white roses in a vase on the dining room table "You always know my favorite" Winona says into the phone, walking towards the pretty ensemble of flowers, admiring it.

"Of course" Christian smiles, replying delightfully.

There was a tag attached to the vase that read

Happy Valentine's day, darling.
Though I may not be there to celebrate today with you

"Thank you" She thanks him with delight.

"You're welcome." He gladly replies. "I think I found your gift. Is it in a red box?"

"Mhm, it is" Winona nods.

"Alright I'm opening it" Christian said as he opened the top lid of the container.

He gasps when inside the box were a few bars of the Toblerone chocolate.

"You shouldn't have!" He exclaims picking it up and opening it.

"I did! I know it's your favorite. I remembered you saying that you couldn't find that bar in any of the convenience stores there a couple days ago so I bought some here and shipped it to there."

"Thank you so much, you just think of everything"

"You're most welcome"

An hour later, after a long conversation, a silence befalls between them.

"Hey, It's four pm here so that means.." Winona catches the time and calculates what time it would be in the UK for a second "Christian! It's already past midnight there!"

"Oh" He looks up at the clock and notices the time. "I didn't notice. I just love talking to you so much" Christian chuckles, rubbing his eyes.

"Me too." Winona grins "But you need to get to sleep now, Babe. You still have shooting tommorow"

"Alright...Goodnight" He said.

"Goodnight, love you"

"Love you too"
