Ben Grimm, a pediatrician in Los Angeles, interviewed with Children’s Hospital Services in Washington D.C.  At the end of his interview, Sue Storm, the sole owner of Children’s Hospital Services, told Ben Grimm: “I look forward to working with you.  Please let me know if I can help you prepare for your move to Washington D.C.”  Ben Grimm returned to Los Angeles, quit his job, gave 30-day notice to his landlord, rented an apartment in Washington D.C., and moved to Washington D.C.  Ben Grimm then called Sue Storm to ask if he could start his job the following week.  Sue Storm told Ben Grimm had no job with Children’s Hospital Services.  Ben Grimm wants to recover the cost of moving expenses from Sue Storm.  Under what legal theory may he proceed?   Discuss the arguments that Ben Grimm and Sue Storm will each make if the claim is brought..
