which plot detail adds to the mood of anticipation?

romeo reviews a meeting time and place.
Anticipation is created when there is an upcoming event that the audience is eager to see. When the Nurse agrees to help Romeo and Juliet marry (after Romeo tells her to have Juliet come to Friar Laurence's cell that afternoon for marriage), it sets up the imminent wedding. This is a significant event in the story that readers/audience would anticipate. The other details like the Nurse refusing money or Romeo offering money are more about the interaction's details (like payment) rather than building anticipation for a major event. Romeo reviewing meeting time and place is part of the plan - but the key anticipation - building element is the agreement to help with the marriage (as marriage is a central, momentous event in their story at this point).
