On-screen text

Our babysitter charged us for eight hours when she only worked four. She usually comes at 6 and leaves around 10. That's the standing arrangement. Friday's invoice said 4 p.m. to midnight. I texted her Saturday morning. "Invoice says 4-12. You weren't here at 4." She replied: "I was around. You guys weren't home yet."
