When Pip and Estella meet at the end of Great Expectations, it is a peculiar happenstance. Both said this is the first time they have been back to Satis House in years, and this prompts the reader to think it was Fate that brought them back together after all these years, and just as Pip was thinking of all the memories that he had of her. The ambiguity of their departure leaves the reader without a sense of conclusion, as Pip had already resigned himself to forever being a bachelor, only for the one girl he had ever loved to return and re-entangle his heart.The fact that she abstained from ever trying to intentionally entangle him shows her care of him and while she told him that she had no heart, her actions imply a different truth. Pip is the only chance at a normal life that she had, and in her older age she is trying to desperately find a meaning for her life.
