(view spoiler) It was the son of the man who gave the party she went to as
Wallace's friend. The father suggested he take the sports car - but he chose the conservative car. We see some matchmaking and in the last pages when she looks at the pictures, she revisits the memory of her and Val hugging him at their wedding. Val's looks are a cross between an aviator and a judge. We have evidence that she's attracted to both the free spirit (Dicky, Tinker, Hank) and the judges (Wallace, Mason, Anne) IMO, the 2 she loves most have both aspects: Eve and Tinker. I think it's important that Val makes a quick entry and exit. I know I've crossed paths many times with some people. Plus, with the lack of interest at that time - it's apparent that the timing would not have been right. Sometimes we have to live through different things before we're ready. In the case of these two we see and learn that they are both career oriented and not prepared to make their commitments until they did some more living on their own.(less)
