Thank you so much! I have a set of matryoshkas that my parents gave to me when I was very small, and I was setting them up under my wee Christmas tree and got the idea that way. :D Glad you liked the tension in the relationship, and their backgrounds.

It did feel like the right ending, but it made me sad. But yes, always room to meet again. :D

Thanks so much for your lovely comments! *hug*
