The applause continued for what felt like forever as Dayo stood there shaking his head while people cheered, whistled, and shouted his name from every corner of the room.
"One more!"
"No!" Dayo said, already exhausted by that single performance.
"Just one!"
"Absolutely not," he replied, shaking his head furiously.
The room laughed as Dayo carefully placed the guitar back on its stand before climbing down from the small stage. The moment his feet touched the floor, Jennifer immediately stretched both arms toward him.
"Daddy."
That was all she needed to say. Dayo smiled and picked her up without hesitation while the applause slowly faded and conversations gradually returned around the room. People drifted back toward the food tables, others replayed recordings on their phones, and several guests were already arguing about who had managed to capture the best video.
Wayne looked down at his phone with a smile.
"Oh, this is definitely going online."
