Biding his time

Nevertheless, Daniela chose to listen intently.

"Don't you see, all I have to do is bide my time?" Daniel expressed enthusiastically, giving hand gestures. His head tilted toward Daniela, staring into her eyes, not backing down or showing a hint of indecisiveness.

No, he was certain.

"Wow, so you are serious about rejecting your mate?" Daniela finally asked.

"Yes, I am," Daniel answered, not missing a beat almost before she finished her question.

"My plan is simple, sis; I would not get myself entangled in anything with anyone and simply wait."

Daniela stared at her brother as if he had grown two horns. She could not help it. She snapped, "Who are you, and what did you do to my brother? Because this is not my brother I am talking to."

She did not want to start calling him names, especially the fact that she thought he was a psycho.

Daniel smiled almost eerily at Daniela and said, "It's me, sis."

Daniela could not help but wonder if something sinister was going on.
