Ooh, I kind of don’t love strong jealousy plots, I don’t like what they say about a character or relationship and I definitely don’t like a character I like feeling hurt and upset and poor Val’s already gone through it with the whole Sergio fiasco, as messed up as that all was for the three of them.
But if we’re considering it in a light-hearted playful way, then I don’t even know if Val would notice? She’d probably be like, well, obviously everyone loves Juls and happily bound up to them and it would be the model who would see Juls light up in a way she doesn’t for anyone else and she would Realize and slink off and the other models would all be like, told ya.
Even if Val did notice, things would probably play out similarly, except her approach would be a bit more deliberate, maybe a handhold or shoulder squeeze and there’d be just a hint of a challenge as she met the model’s gaze and of course Juls wouldn’t have noticed anything and she’d brightly introduce Val and the model’d know she had no chance.
