After everything that had happened, Dayo decided to spend the next few days with his family.
They went out together—simple places, quiet places. Restaurants, parks, late-night walks, laughter without pressure. No cameras. No expectations. Just family. For Dayo, it felt grounding. They spent time together doing everything families do, and since they were in Paris, the sightseeing made it even better. There were a few moments when Dayo was recognized, but it was quickly handled. He had learned his lesson about moving without proper security, so they simply kept their distance and enjoyed their time.
Alice, Wayne, and Valerie didn't stay long.
They had work waiting for them—meetings to attend, calls they couldn't ignore. At the airport, they exchanged brief hugs and handshakes.
"Don't disappear," Wayne said.
Alice smiled lightly and winked at Dayo. "We'll talk."
Valerie waved as they walked toward the gate.
