Объяснение использования времен
Прошедшее продолжительное время (was/were + глагол с -ing) используется для описания действия, которое происходило в определенный момент в прошлом, в данном случае — обстановка вечера и действия Рика, когда он был в движении или наблюдал.
Прошедшее простое время используется для действий, которые происходили и закончились в прошлом, как, например, когда Рик "увидел" свет или "остановился".
