Bob runs the campus bookstore and needs to buy highlighters—the colored pens students use to highlight key passages in their books.  Bob orders 1000 highlighters from X Company at $.50 each. After signing the contract with Bob, the owner of X Company, is contacted by another customer who says he wants 1000 highlighters and will pay $.75 for each of them.  X Company cannot fulfill both orders, so they cancel Bob's order.  X Company's owner is happy because he is going to make 250 dollars more than if he had sold the same pens to Bob. Bob still needs highlighters!  He scrambles around and finds out that he can get them from Company Y at a price of $1.00 each. Bob sues X Company.  What should be the outcome of Bob's lawsuit, and why?
