After more than ten hours of flying from Casablanca to Washington, the contestants and crew finally landed. The weather was bright, and the air felt different — warm and familiar.
As soon as Dayo stepped out of the airport, he was met with a huge crowd waiting behind the barriers. Some held banners with his name, others waved flags and signs that said things like "We're sorry, JD!" and "Welcome home!"
For a moment, Dayo just stood still, taking it all in. This was his home ground. The United States — the place where everything began.
He smiled faintly as he looked at the faces in the crowd. Many people were shouting his name, some even crying, saying they were sorry for not believing him during the scandal. Others just wanted to see him up close, cheering and calling out, "We love you, JD!"
It felt good. Not because of the noise or the cameras, but because he could finally feel the love again.
