It took me a moment to realize what he'd said.

It took me a moment to realize what she expected.

It took him a moment to realize what had happened.

It took her a moment to realize where she was.

It took him a moment to realize they were on the ground.

It took him a moment to realize what they were looking at.

He seemed so far away it took her a moment to realize what he'd asked.

And it took me a moment to realize how I'd been used.

It took me a moment to realize what I'd just heard.

It took him a moment to realize where he was.
