Lava is depressed?

"Welcome back!" My friends and brothers shouted cheerfully as I stood at the doorstep of my house with Dominic. 

I laughed heartily. Their warm welcome made my heart happy. I couldn't help but grin happily.

"You guys are too much. It's not like I have been away in another town. We were just a half hour drive away and we met almost every day." I said with the same grin. 

"Oh, hush! You are back in the house after one whole month and also we didn't see you for one whole week. Seven days. The house missed you but as it can't welcome you, so we did it on its behalf." Saying that Dylan pulled me in for a hug. I hugged him back. I missed him a lot.
