heartbeat's
Chest thump's owner
Heartbeat's is the possessive form of heartbeat, the rhythmic contraction of the heart that pumps blood through the body.
It attributes something to that pulse: a heartbeat's worth of hesitation, the heartbeat's steady rhythm.
The phrase in a heartbeat means instantly or without hesitation: I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
