During the car scene, am I the only one who thinks val purposefully left the toiletries bag so she can be alone with juls?

Well, first she takes along only Juls to buy groceries and then is able to somehow tell that one bag among so many is missing…you may be onto something there, anon. Hah, if so, clever girl. And smitten. Orchestrating that for a few moments alone. She hardly could have expected Juls would kiss her and things would escalate like that.
