He said she said

On my way to school today, I saw the cutest elderly couple about to cross the street.  They were both around five feet tall and she gingerly held onto his arm and walking stick, shuffling and taking five little steps for each of his larger ones.

They started crossing the street with only seven seconds remaining on the countdown. 

"Hold tight to me Sarah!"
"No way mister.  You're walking into traffic!"
"We can make it across! You're going to be late!"
"I'd rather be late for my appointment than early to my grave!"
