"This is pretty cool, right? I mean, if you think about it, everyone in the world is checking their watches in their own timezones based on this spot. We're the center of everything. I'm never the center, so..." She tilted her head to one side. "I'm trying to soak in how it feels. It feels... pretty normal, really. So nevermind!"
They were! They were the center of
everything. Nice. Oliver was not usually the center of attention. That was Ellery. He didn't really mind, but this was cool too. He was in the center of the WORLD. Dot was too. She should be
all the time.
He laughed. Yeah, it just felt like normal. It only felt cool if he thought
really hard about exactly what it meant to be standing in that spot. But he was not going to constantly think that hard about it. He stood on one side of the line and grinned at Dot, who was still straddling the line.
"If you stand on that side, then we'll be in different hemispheres!" How cool was that?
