English term
So that was that.

He liked her and she liked him, and she had a great sense of humor, which felt like a miracle, and she looked after him when he was down and he looked after her too, in his own way, bringing her flowers and stuff. It was both the law of averages, and a lucky, random thing that had made him happier than he usually was. So that was that.
这里的 he 是在英国的第二代穆斯林移民,很有女人缘,但只有这里的这个 she 是他真心喜欢的。我想不出一个跟 that was that 同样简洁、同样模糊的说法。

我想这句话的意思是为了说明这两个人之间没有更深的关系,仅此而已。

I think you are right. On second thoughts, I don't like "所以" either. Thank you!

Thank you. (I really enjoyed this one) It is difficult to get the right sound. It needs to sound snappy and final, so I like the second option better. 就(是)那么回事;就(是)这么回事 is good too, maybe the best.

Way-back-when in the fuddle of the hash and the talk Millat remembered a girl called Karina Somethingoranother whom he had liked. And she liked him. And she had a great sense of humor that felt like a miracle, and she looked after him when he was down and he looked after her too, in his own way, bringing her flowers and stuff. She seemed distant now, like conker fights and childhood. And that was that.
