"Oh, we are about to."

Marco relaxed as soon as he heard that, he dropped his head back as he groaned.

Stepping off the plane, Marco felt the warm breeze of London enveloping them, and excitement filled his nostrils.Lily, with a slight yawn, turned to Marco and said, "You know, after this long flight, we should go rest a little before we go to the big house."Marco, however, seemed hesitant.
