3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Davis v. Davis, 855 P.2d 342, 348 (Wyo.1993). We have described reasonable reliance as follows: In Provence [v. Hilltop National Bank, 780 P.2d 990 (Wyo.1989)], we explained that detriment in reasonable reliance is closely tied to the existence of a clear and definite agreement. A reasonable person does not rely to his or her detriment on an oral agreement unless it is sufficiently clear and definite as to induce him or her to act. Provence.”
