"I-I... don't know any of that means." Amelia's cheeks flush a bright red. It's not often she understands nothing someone says, but this is certainly one of them. This is going to take a little more effort to explain than she'd thought.
"What I mean to say is that there is a place, somewhere between... everywhere and every...when, I think. I never did fully grasp many of the concepts others more versed in such things tried to explain them to me, so the language may be different from what you know." Though that's not exactly Amelia's point. She takes a breath and tries again. "This place is a physical one, one where people of Earth can meet people of worlds that don't exist in this universe. Where they could meet people from a different time and version of Earth, too. I'm not sure how one connects to it if they haven't already been there, because many of us seem to stumble into it completely on accident." Or run into it, as in her case.
Her expression shifts into something more thoughtful, but also a touch rueful. "Does any of that make sense?" Not being able to explain this well is very difficult and more than a little trying. She wishes she had the right words when Jane seems so certain of what she says and seems to grasp at least some part of what Amelia is trying to explain.
