Their location or setting was about to change. Think about
the setting in your work in progress. Describe that setting in a paragraph.
Why did you choose that setting for the story? What would be

Choose a scene that has very little setting elements.
Rewrite the scene including more setting which might include anything from
seasonal elements to special props to general surroundings.
Extended exercise: Study your writing setting or space. Are

writing pieces?
