Darling, Be Ordinary

By Stan Davali Jr.

Miles Ransom has always lived louder than life-born into money, raised on headlines, addicted to being seen. But when one scandal too many sends his family, his fortune, and the press closing in, he ends up in the last place he belongs: a no-frills rehab with plastic chairs, cafeteria eggs, and people who couldn't care less about his last name.

For the first time, there's no stage to stand on, no applause to chase. Just long days, group circles, and the unsettling truth that he doesn't know who he is without the glitter. Then comes Ollie Doyle-an autistic fellow patient with a crooked smile, a sharp sense of humor, and a way of cutting through Miles's defenses without even trying.

What begins as humiliation slowly turns into something Miles has never experienced before: an honest connection. Between mop buckets, late-night talks, and temptations that don't go away just because the doors are locked, Miles faces the hardest choice of his life-keep performing until it kills him, or finally learn how to be ordinary.

Darling, Be Ordinary is a heartfelt story of addiction, friendship, and the quiet bravery it takes to stop running from yourself-and start living.
