It occurred to him that if he had been here with people he trusted less -- loved less -- he might now be worrying that they'd abandoned him. He'd never considered the possibility that he might be left to be executed. He didn't now, either, though he wasn't sure at this point how he was going to be saved.
This part doesn't seem quite right to me: by reflecting on the idea of abandonment, he IS considering the possibility that he could be left to be executed. He's just also rejecting it out of hand as not something that would ever happen.
"Well, if the door are open," she said with a smile.
"if the doors are open," I think you mean.
"There they are, Murra. Look at your brothers."
OH SAM. *teary again*
And the proper response to what I said," she added, leaning back so she could look at him, "is either I'm sorry or I love you too."
Yeah, Ellis, this is no time to be all Han Solo! But I do love the explicit statement that Murra-Clare has engaged in self-examination and knows she's not an infatuated 19-year-old but rather an emotionally mature woman in love.

The very first love of his life.
Yes. The core of Jack. Perfect.
