lay for somebody

He lay still for a moment, trying to figure out his next move.

But I put my arms about him, and we just lay still for a bit.

When he was quite through, the other again lay still for a long time.

And tell him to lay low for a few days.

Then I lay for a long time trying to make a plan.

She lay very still for a moment, trying to think.

She lay for a moment trying to think what to do.

She lay down and let them close, just for a moment.

They lay next to each other for a long time.

Now she had no idea what lay ahead for her.
