“She let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding.”
Babe, our bodies need oxygen and breath automatically so YOU'RE NOT JUST GONNA STOP THAT WHEN YOUR BOYFRIEND'S ABOUT TO DIE. If your hiding from spies or something and need to stay quiet then yes I can understand why you would want to shallow your breathing or try holding it, but you do that consciously, not subconciously.
The phrase just agravates me and makes me cringe lol
