Not Love... but luv

I thought of a good way to describe the feelings between Catherine and Heathcliff (well it makes sense to me anyway). They aren't close enough to be considered in love with eachother, its much shallower than that. I liked the word "luv" to describe it. It doesn't have as much depth as the full word, yet there are still strong feelings. I don't know, thought that was a clever way of putting it. Maybe not though... haha
