broach

He sat across from her, his hands clasped tight. He knew he had to broach the subject of their finances, but the words felt stuck in his throat. She had been worried enough already, and this news would only make things worse.

He took a deep breath, the smell of burnt sugar thick in the air. She'd been so quiet since the incident with the petrified squirrels. He needed to broach the subject of the missing acorns, but the fear in her eyes made the words stick in his throat.

The air was thick with unspoken worries. He finally decided to broach the topic of the missing bioluminescent fungus colony, the one that lit up their underground home. Their faces, usually bright with its glow, were now shadowed with fear.

I finally gathered the courage to broach the subject of who ate the last cookie. My roommate, meanwhile, was trying to broach the topic of my questionable sock-folding techniques. We were both a little nervous, but someone had to bring it up!

Barry nervously cleared his throat. He needed to broach a delicate topic: his pet rock, Dwayne, had developed a strange craving for tiny hats. Barry wasn't sure how to tell his neighbor, Mildred, that Dwayne might have accidentally eaten her prize-winning thimble collection, which just *happened* to resemble miniature fedoras.

He cleared his throat, a knot forming in his stomach. Finally, he decided to broach the subject of his father's overdue rent, hoping to avoid an outright argument and find a solution together.

He nervously fiddled with the frayed edge of his tunic, trying to find a way to broach the subject of the missing fungal spores. The entire colony depended on them, and his oversight was a disaster. His stomach churned with dread as he considered the Queen's reaction.

She braced herself, fingers tightening on the chipped ceramic mug, before deciding to broach the topic. Her brother hadn't spoken of their late father's unresolved debts since the funeral, and the growing pile of unopened mail was a silent accusation no one wanted to face.

I finally decided to broach the topic of my extensive sock collection with my roommate, hoping it wouldn't cause a full-blown laundry-related panic. I nervously cleared my throat, preparing to explain why our dryer lint trap now resembled a woolly mammoth.

Barnaby nervously cleared his throat, attempting to broach the delicate topic of his pet chameleon's sudden obsession with interpretive dance. He'd tried subtle hints, but Bartholomew the chameleon remained oblivious, pirouetting with alarming enthusiasm on the antique doily. It was time for a serious, if bizarre, conversation.

He swallowed hard, his palms slick with sweat. "There's something I need to broach," he finally managed, his voice barely a whisper. The silence that followed felt heavier than any words could convey, the unspoken tension hanging thick in the air.

He hesitated, staring at the worn, leather-bound ledger, finally gathering the courage to broach the topic of the missing funds. His hands trembled slightly as he prepared to explain to his mentor, the man who'd taught him everything about navigating the treacherous world of rare antique automaton repair, that a substantial sum had vanished.

He cleared his throat, the silence in the cramped sub-orbital module suddenly deafening. He knew he had to broach the topic of the dwindling oxygen supply, but the fear etched on his crewmate’s face made the words stick.

Bartholomew nervously cleared his throat, attempting to broach the subject of his unfortunate encounter with a particularly enthusiastic badger. He suspected his employer might have some qualms about the missing toupee and the rather robust scent of damp fur clinging to his person.

Arthur decided it was time to broach the delicate matter of the sentient sourdough starter's impending existential crisis. After all, who else would address Kevin's profound despair about the ephemeral nature of gluten and the crushing weight of the proofing schedule?

He hesitated, his palms sweating, before finally choosing to broach the topic of the company's precarious financial straits. The silence that followed was palpable, a heavy testament to the gravity of the information he had just conveyed.

With a tremor in his voice, barely audible above the drone of the hydroponic nutrient pumps, he finally decided to broach the matter of the aberrant fungal growth. The entire colony's precarious sustenance depended on the integrity of the substrate, and this insidious infestation threatened their very existence.

With a knot in his stomach, Arthur steeled himself to broach the topic of his extensive, albeit ethically dubious, collection of pre-Columbian agricultural implements. The museum curator’s impassivity was disconcerting, but the matter of illicit acquisition necessitated a frank conversation.

Bartholomew, his stomach doing a veritable somersault, decided it was finally time to broach the rather recalcitrant subject of his penchant for competitive ferret racing with his ostensibly urbane hostess. He hoped she wouldn't consider his nascent passion an egregious social solecism.

Hesitantly, Bartholomew decided to broach the clandestine subject of his nocturnal transmogrifications into a sentient, opera-singing badger. He feared his paramour, the esteemed lepidopterist, might find his sudden predilection for bel canto and burrowing utterly preposterous.
