How did Jack know to make a move on Ennis?


What made him relatively certain that Ennis would respond well when Jack initiated contact? Was it just a vibe? Was Jack particularly good at reading people?

HE SPOTTED ENNIS' BULGE.

Be real here, lol.

Attraction is often unspoken, even if it’s forbidden.

I always just thought he took a chance like any person attracted to someone does :)

Same way you know when to ‘make a move’. Tension in the air.

I think he's the type with a history of hitting on "straight" men in places where women are absent. Like some do in the military or prison. He just got lucky with this one getting more than a one night stand.

He was drunk.
