Lureen had a straight-forward and rather opportunistic approach to getting to know Jack.

There Ennis stood, wondering where his damn shirt was, and very conscious of the bruise appearing on Jack's cheek where he had punched him.

Jack:  "...I  can't make it on a couple a high-altitude fucks once or twice a year.  You're too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch.  I wish I knew how to quit you." [story]

When Ennis visited the Twist ranch in Lightning Flat, he was making a public statement of his attachment to Jack, his dead lover.

"X" is xemplify

The BBM scenes that xemplify Ennis’s love for Jack do so through showing some subtle and tender actions of his, rather than having him talk out loud about it.
