To go to the place where someone is for a short visit

In Macmillan English Dictionary, it says:

come by phrasal verb

to go to the place where someone is for a short visit:
I’ll come by this afternoon and we can talk about what happened.
------------
What does 'where someone is for a short visit' mean?

I wonder if it means 'someone is for a short visit in/at the place' or 'someone is to the place for a short visit'.

Thanks!

PS I also posted the same question in https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/threads/251463-to-go-to-the-place-where-someone-is-for-a-short-visit?p=1330020#post1330020, but all of your answers are unique to me. Thank you.
