A man who plays in a band speaking to his girlfriend:
+ That reporter never really got to see us play live. So the band decided to throw a party.
- Tonight? That sounds fun.
+ Yeah, I'm gonna head over in a little bit, help set up.
(Nashville)
Is "in" here an adverb referring to "inside" or a preposition refering to time (in a little bit), meaning "for a little bit"? I'd say it's the second.
Thanks for your help.
