The feeling of being watched didn't go away until I was safely in the back of her car.
I turned to the woman beside me. "Thank you for that, Maya."
Maya Torres smiled. "No problem, Professor. I was watching the show live. Just happened to be in the neighborhood."
I didn't press her for more details. She didn't ask any questions, just said, "Where to? I'll give you a ride."
