Daltonponce Stories

Avery Collins is used to a specific kind of rhythm: the squeak of sneakers on a hardwood court, the precise snap of a volleyball set, and the disciplined quiet of the gym she built from the ground up in Savannah. As a former LSU standout, she's an athlete who values focus over flare. She's a chill introvert who prefers the company of her trainees over the chaos of the spotlight. Then comes Dalton Ponce. A pitcher for the Party Animals, Dalton is a whirlwind of pinstripes, TikTok dances, and-randomly-very accurate goat noises. He lives for the "show," the crowd, and the high-energy antics of the pitching mound. When the Party Animals start using Avery's gym for their off-season cross-training, Dalton's "extra" personality crashes head-first into Avery's quiet sanctuary. At first, Avery sees him as just another loud distraction. But as Dalton begins to trade his mound dances for actual sets on the court, Avery realizes there's a serious athlete hidden behind the funny-man persona. For Dalton, the challenge isn't just winning a game; it's figuring out how to make the quiet girl from Georgia actually laugh. It's a game of Set & Strike, where the loudest guy on the diamond has to learn the beauty of the quiet moments, and the girl who stays in the shadows has to decide if she's ready to step into his light.

Adeline Bridges never planned on coming back to Savannah-let alone walking straight back into the chaos she left behind. After college, she kept her head down, writing music just for herself... until one unexpected email changed everything. Now she's back home, keeping secrets, dodging questions, and trying to pretend her life hasn't completely shifted. But in a house full of loud personalities, nonstop music, and zero boundaries, staying unnoticed isn't exactly an option-especially when Dalton Ponce is the first one to open the door. And he's not about to let her disappear into the background. Between late nights, inside jokes, and a spark she definitely didn't plan for, Adeline might have to face the one thing she's been avoiding- What happens when the song you never meant to share... finally gets heard?
