Steve аnd Alfоnsо hаd been best friends fоr over forty yeаrs. Alfonso turned fifty and Steve wanted to give his best friend a surprise birthday present. Alfonso had always loved Steve’s residence by the sea (Seabreeze) and often jokingly pleaded for Steve to sell it to him. Steve signed a deed conveying Seabreeze to Alfonso, however when he went to Alfonso’s apartment to hand it to him, he learned that Alfonso had taken a two-week vacation to South America. Steve pushed the deed under Alfonso’s door and left. Several days later, Alfonso returned. He picked up the deed, chuckled a bit, and then called Steve on the phone, saying, “My friend, thanks so much for thinking of me!

Sorry, I can’t take it, Seabreeze is still yours.” Which of the following statements is correct?
