He stopped as if surprised, put a hand to his heart, and crumpled.
Before he could react I put a hand to my own heart.
"He woke up when I put the stake to his heart."
I put a hand to my pounding heart, gasping for air.
She put a hand to her heart and knocked on some nearby wood.
He knelt down and put his ear to her heart.
She put a hand to her heart as it lurched.
She took my hand, and put it to her heart.
I put my ear to his heart, and he was dead.
She pulled it from the wall, put it to her heart.
