Is it possible that these two darkened lines are actually the TOP portion of a notification bubble and the BOTTOM portion of a notification bubble? Is it possible she was typing this stuff out and had an SMS sent to her? Could it have faded out or lost focus when she tapped?

Can anyone confirm the behavior of an iPhone when an SMS is received and you tap away from it? Does it fade away? Does the top and bottom portions of the bubble stay in a reduced opacity?
