Tolstoy says Princess Marya and Natasha establish a "passionate and tender friendship ... such as occurs only between women," but then goes on to describe it thusly:

"They constantly kissed each other, spoke tender words to each other, and spent most of their time together. If one went out, the other became uneasy and hastened to join her. The two felt a greater harmony between themselves than separately, each within herself."

and also -

"it was the exceptional feeling that life was possible only in each other's presence"

and further-

"sometimes, already in bed, they would start talking and talk until morning."

Okay sure yeah friendship
