7 feet 7 (I)

Both my boyfriend Max and I know very well that he is exactly 8 feet tall. However, every time he is asked his height, he promptly answers "7 feet 7", while blushing a little.  He wouldn't tell me why he trims those five inches, but I think that he doesn't want to look like a freak, or he just likes the rhythmic sound of that phrase: "7 feet 7".

At my 5 feet 6, I am not particularly tall but, in front of  Max's 520 pounds, I feel like a 5-year-old. Ironically, I am five years older than him! Could you imagine my excitement when, on my first proposal, he accepted to go out with me?
