The Lady with the marks

All the lights of the kitchen were on in the house on Ridge. If someone was looking in the window they would see three smiling girls and their mother, laughing and dancing. It would look as if nothing could change that happiness.
A piercing scream sounded outside in the darkness. Someone knocked at the door and their mother turned down the music. The three girls were commanded to stay in the kitchen while the mother went to greet a lady with marks on her face.  Their low whispers worried the girls who were ushered into the master bedroom by their worried mother. They tried to hear what their mother and the crying lady were saying but their low whispers were hard to hear.
The girls looked at each other asking what happened, what’s wrong, but none of them knew the answers.
