Chaos Saints

Kieran is used to messages from millions of strangers-comments, threats, confessions, all of it. But the ones that start showing up in his Instagram DMs are different. They are not for him. A girl he has never met is sending someone her grocery lists, late-night rambles, half-finished thoughts about work and friends and the kind of loneliness you do not admit out loud-and they land in his inbox instead. He tells himself he will not answer. He tells his bandmates he does not care. But day after day, city after city, he finds himself checking for her name, reading every new message, building her into his routine until she feels like the only real thing in his world of noise and lights. By the time he finally breaks his own rule, Kieran is already obsessed. He does not just want to know who she is. He needs her.
