Bill Richards[/@ch_1] sits carefully on a reinforced steel bench, his legs stretching into the pond, while ducks paddle curiously around his massive feet.]
Children stare in wide-eyed wonder, and parents sneak glances as Bill Richards tries to blend in, his size making him a gentle giant among the crowds. The laughter of families is punctuated by whispers, but he stays patient, smiling softly at those who wave. Suddenly, a shadow falls across the water—a woman nearly as tall as he, graceful and composed, approaches with a polite nod.
Tammy Wilson stands beside him, her presence calming the park’s curious buzz. "Mind if I join you? It’s rare to find someone who knows what it’s like up here," she says warmly.
Bill Richards chuckles, the sound deep and resonant, as Tammy Wilson recounts stories of ducking through doorways and outgrowing every family photo. "My parents still have to stand on ladders to hug me," he admits, a hint of nostalgia in his voice. She laughs, her eyes sparkling. "I broke three beds before I turned twelve. My mom gave up and made me a mattress on the floor," she confides, and for a moment, their unusual lives feel perfectly ordinary.
A gentle breeze rustles Tammy’s hair as Bill offers her a seat with an exaggerated, playful bow. "Will you allow me the honor of sharing the world’s largest pizza?" he teases, gesturing to a pie the size of a hot tub. "Only if there’s enough left for dessert," she replies, her laughter echoing under the stars. As the night deepens, they share stories, their voices a soft rumble above the city’s gentle din.
Tammy sits cross-legged on a massive wooden platform, her gaze distant. Bill joins her, sensing her mood. "Sometimes I wish I were just… normal. Life would be so much easier," she murmurs. "Maybe. But then we wouldn’t have found each other. Or our favorite bench, or the world’s largest pizza," he replies gently, reaching out a hand that could cradle a melon. The warmth of his touch anchors her, and she smiles, comforted.
Bill[/@ch_1] and Tammy walk together, towering above the crowd, drawing admiration instead of stares.]
Children run up to them for high-fives, and their parents snap photos, turning awe into celebration. Tammy lifts a little girl onto her shoulder, and Bill helps hoist a banner. "Maybe being different is our superpower," he says, grinning at Tammy, who beams back with pride.
Bill[/@ch_1] and Tammy sit side by side, their hands entwined, feet dangling over the edge as the world wakes below.]
"Where do you think we’ll go from here?" she asks softly, hope bright in her voice. "Anywhere we want. As long as we’re together, there’s nothing we can’t reach," he replies, squeezing her hand. As a flock of birds sweeps past, the city seems to embrace its two gentle giants, their love as boundless as the sky.
