So let's just think this one through for a couple of seconds.

The whole thing went down in a couple of seconds.

He took only a couple of seconds coming to a decision.

He turned away and stood thinking for a couple of seconds.

The decision had taken him only a couple of seconds.

A couple of seconds pass with dead air on the line.

I never even saw what was outside until a couple of seconds later.

Then she didn't say anything for a couple of seconds.
