Lol, Juls wanted to get back with Val already. But they set up that conflict, so why not resolve it onscreen? But I think they actually think they did, as you said, it’s kind of a no-brainer that they’d be back together if Val’s fears of a public outing were addressed.
A full name drop. I love that she ADDED the last name after a pause.

Just to make sure that no other Juliana would think she meant them. And to let everyone else know Juliana Valdes was taken. I laughed and laughed.
