szybki oddech

She took a quick breath to try to calm herself.

She caught a quick breath, put a hand over her mouth and looked down.

Drawing in a quick breath, it looked as if she might have changed her mind.

After a long look and a quick breath, he put it away.

He drew a quick breath, then looked up and around without meeting Jim's eye.

I think she took a quick breath to say something, then stopped herself.

She let out a quick breath, and opened her eyes.

What was left to say came out in one quick breath to keep my voice steady.

I took one quick, deep breath when he pulled it out.

I took a quick breath, trying to hold myself together.
