I spotted the girl even before she knocked on my door.  I was gazing out my second-floor office window down at Berkeley Street, eating a cinnamon donut and drinking coffee with a little milk and sugar.  The girl looked lost among the businesspeople and tourists hustling along the icy sidewalks.  She wore a pink Boston Red Sox cap and an oversized down parka with a fur collar, and stared up at the number on the office building where Berkeley intersects Boylston.
