All that could really be heard from outside was the slow beat of the surf.

The answer was a beat too slow, and she didn't quite meet his eyes.

There was no sound but the slow, deep beat of the rotting heart.

Something moved in him when he felt its slow beat.

The heart rate may alternate between slow and fast beats.

She stood for a moment, listening to the slow beat of Ashley's heart.

The steps weren't that hard to pick up, a slow 4-4 beat.

She watched the slow beat of the wings, far out and high in the dazzling air.

It started the slow beat of blood in her own body.

And though he continued smiling, his hands clenched to a slow beat.
