Oooh, now that’s a much tougher question. Because she’s already lived that with Lucho, for a much longer time than Val had to deal with it, but also, so much of that was tied into their class differences? She’s always been so aware of that, all the ways in which she’s lacking, what other people could offer Val that she couldn’t.
I’d like to think that when they finally got together for real, her accepting that she wanted to be with Val whatever the cost, she also understood how much it was her that Val wanted. Val’s shown it in a million ways, but to go on national television and tell a whole country? How could she not feel confident in Val’s feelings for her?
So taking that into account, if Juls stumbled onto a similar situation, someone being overly friendly with Val and Val not really taking notice, you’re probably right, Juls wouldn’t do anything about it, it’d be Val naturally draping herself all over Juls that would send out a clear signal.
