His thought that "she wanted people to leave her alone" is probably the influencing factor behind their separation and it's sad because such a feeling is usually momentary whereas the feeling of wanting the regard of many people around one usually returns to stabilize. However, life goes on for both. The finely written portrayal of emotions and events involves the reader in the developments of the story. I hope, since they have mutual friends ("She'd fallen in with his friends," ) they won't make the worse mistake of denying eachothers' acquaintance, that they'll introduce their families to eachother, and renew friendship,not "fall away" from eachother and others.
