stilled

the bustling city noises stilled as the snow began to fall.

her laughter stilled when she saw the surprise party.

he stilled his hands, listening intently for any sound.

the wind stilled the leaves on the trees.

a sudden silence stilled the room after the announcement.

the argument stilled as they realized their mistake.

stilled by fear, she couldn't move.

the music stilled, leaving a lingering feeling of sadness.

he stilled his breathing to avoid detection.

the lake stilled, reflecting the moon's light.

stilled waters run deep, they say.

the debate stilled for a moment as the speaker paused.
