At the end of the summer of 63 Ennis knows deep down that he loves Jack; but society obligates his marrying the girl that has been chosen for him.

Jack kept the news about his extra-bull-riding a secret from Ennis so as not to stifle what they might have together.

"...Jack's dark good looks and rascally demeanor make him irresistible.  But Jarhead  star (Jake) Gyllenhaal creates a more complicated character, tapping into Jack's heartbreaking desire to have a life with Ennis."

"X" is xtinguishment

Alma's dissatisfaction with Ennis is a perfect example of how the loss of trust in a marriage often leads to the loss of respect and the xtinguishment of love.
