VALENTINE: guten morgen antoine! (i know its morning in spain)

ANTOINE: you're lucky that i just woke up

VALENTINE: i am lucky :-)

ANTOINE: how are you?

VALENTINE: im doing great, and you?

ANTOINE: this is such a cliché conversation

VALENTINE: i know right :-//

ANTOINE: how do we usually start our conversations?

VALENTINE: well it's like we start with a greeting and then a random topic pops out of my head or yours idk

ANTOINE: this feels odd

VALENTINE: why?

ANTOINE: idk i cant think of a topic

VALENTINE: oh uh do you wanna go eat breakfast or something?

ANTOINE: no it's okay, i wanna talk to you first :-)

VALENTINE: but how can we talk when we can't even think of a topic?

ANTOINE: hm, do you prefer that i call you?

VALENTINE: well it's late at night here and i don't want to upset my brother

ANTOINE: go outside then

VALENTINE: im scared

ANTOINE: cmon valentine, do it for me :-)

VALENTINE: fine wait just a sec

ANTOINE: okay :-)

VALENTINE: alright im outside

ANTOINE: what time is it there?

VALENTINE: almost 1 am

ANTOINE: oh do you still wanna call?

VALENTINE: id be delighted to

ANTOINE: alright, ill call you :-)

Valentine prepared herself for what's to come and she prayed that everything would come out smoothly and nothing would go wrong. Her phone rang and she heaved a deep sigh before answering the call.

"Hi Antoine!" She said, her voice filled with too much cheer. She stomped her foot on the ground and mentally scolded herself for sounding too excited.

"Bonjour chérie."Antoine said, his French accent resonating throughout Valentine's ears. A smile touched her lips as soon as she heard Antoine's voice.

"So, how are you?" If there was one thing Valentine didn't know, it was starting a conversation with someone. It was easy for her in text because Valentine talked on the virtual world all the time but in this case, she didn't exactly know what to do.

"I'm alright, now that I'm talking to you." Antoine let out a giggle and Valentine smiled again because she found Antoine's laugh completely adorable.

"Cheeky." Valentine made her way towards the bench they had outside and she sat on it. Valentine thought of what would she would be doing right now if she had never met Antoine.

"Is everything okay?" Antoine asked.

"Well, yeah. I'm just thinking." Valentine overthought a lot and it was a habit she possessed. Her thoughts sometimes drifted to negative ones and that's when she would stop thinking.

"Tell me then, what are you thinking of?"

"Antoine, what if I never met you or came cross you or whatever? What if you actually sent that message to Olivier and not me? Would everything be different?"

"Val, are you happy that you came across me?" Of course Valentine was happy. Valentine adored Antoine because he was always there for her and the fact that he's from another country and he still finds time to talk to her amidst his tight schedule makes her heart flutter. Valentine liked the fact that she met Antoine and she was happy that it happened.

"Of course I am."

"We meet people for a reason, Valentine." Valentine sighed and tried to think of the reason why she met Antoine. She doesn't fully believe that everything happens for a reason because it's like saying accidents happen for a reason or a murder happens for a reason. No, she didn't like to think of it in that way.

"Then what's the reason why I met you?"

"I don't exactly know, but I think it's to help me find true love."
