And it's not my fault he kindly asked me to pour out the tea. and certainly not my fault that a cloth potholder was a hole and the red-hot handle of the kettle came into direct contact with the hand.
No, I decided. to leave kettle - a completely natural reaction. The kettle fell on his knees to Mr. Bainbridge is just unfortunate coincidence: somewhere I was supposed to leave him. The only problem is that I shouted: "Damn fucking kettle!" - Yes, and still such a voice, which Mr. Bainbridge, in his turn, uttered a loud exclamation, and my Frank threw me a scathing look over the top of dish with wheat tortillas.

Passion... It's usually between a nurse and a doctor or nurse and the patient, generally between people in the chance to more or less long time community.
This often leads to short, violent novels. If all goes well, the novel blazes brightly for a few months and fizzles. And if not... well, then, pregnancy, divorce, and even ridiculous case like venereal disease. Threat - that thing is passion.
