Ah, it seems like I have a knack for leaving readers frustrated LOL
I like how you said that Jake earned respect from Klaus. Yes, Jake could not have proved it better, and Klaus now knows for sure Jake had never been in for the money, not even a tiny bit. I didn't realize this could be seen like this, but your comment makes me really happy
Just hang on for a little bit I hope, in the end, the good would outweigh the bad in my case, too, not only Klaus's :))
As for your thoughts on Diaz? All spot on!
