Par Ol and his neighbor, Evie Dentz, were standing on the sidewalk discussing the state of landscaping on their two properties. Ol was admiring the new trim Dentz had installed around her flowerbeds. In their conversation, Dentz orally agreed to install the same trim on Ol's property if he would pay her the cost of the supplies plus $100. Dentz purchased the trim, but used it on another of her flower beds. Dentz is not in breach because a valid contract was not formed.
