Fact Pattern 7-2
Hester offers to sell her house to Frank for $250,000. Frank says that he would like to think about it, and Hester says that is fine.

Later that day Hester sees Frank walking up her driveway. She immediately opens the window and yells "I revoke the offer on the house" before Frank says anything. Frank replies that he accepts the offer and expects to purchase the home.
