In this quote from James Patterson's book "The Kiss," the character insists that they were never a coward. Instead of admitting fear, they consider their actions to be a matter of common sense. The character seems frustrated and defensive as they try to resist being restrained or challenged. The quote highlights a moment of internal conflict, where the character redefines their cautious behavior as practicality rather than fear. It suggests a struggle to justify their decisions and a desire to be perceived as sensible rather than cowardly.
"I was never a coward," he says irritably, struggling out of my grasp. "I was just sensible."
