This story is about a man painting from life in New York City. He becomes fascinated with a woman in a green sweater, but loses her in the crowd. He later finds himself in charge of a lost little girl named Mia. They spend some time together trying to find her parents, and it is later revealed to be the woman in the green sweater. I really loved the description of everything, and the opening few sentences were really good. I like that I originally thought that it was going to be a love story and it ended up being more about observing the beauty around you. I guess if I did have a question it would be if the man that sat down as the distraction had greater importance than just a distraction, as he had a name. I would suggest extending the ending so that there is more meaning rather than a very brief interaction with the woman, but I do really like the ending statement.
