Millie Cloud
Valentine works with Patrice at the jewel bearing plant. She is described as one of Patrice’s closest friends, but throughout the novel, tensions flare up in their relationship. When Patrice is looking for a way to go to Minneapolis to search for Vera, Valentine, in an act of generosity, gives Patrice her sick days to use. Patrice is grateful, but when she returns, she becomes frustrated when Valentine won’t stop talking about her own generosity and about what she did for Patrice. Valentine then grows closer to a new friend, Doris Lauder. Near the end of the novel, Valentine is given a promotion that Patrice thinks she deserves. Valentine also dates Barnes, though that relationship is short-lived.
