He'd thought for one awful moment that she had broken her neck.

For an awful moment I thought he was going to cry.

Yeah- and for one awful moment I thought she might take me up on it!

She was still in that awful moment when he called.

For one awful moment he had feared that they might already be here.

But it all disappeared in that awful moment of decision.

For an awful moment, he lost all sense of himself as a separate entity.

It was the most awful moment in his life; you know why?

For one awful moment I thought they'd killed him, but he moaned and tried to get back up.

His eyes closed, and for one awful moment I thought he was going to cry.
