JUSTICE GEIGER, specially concurring: I concur in the result reached in the majority’s decision. I also concur in the majority’s conclusion that the plaintiff’s action must fail because of the lack of sufficient allegations of consideration to support an action in contract. I do not, however, join the court’s further discussion of “the invalidity of the subject matter” of the alleged contract. Here, when the trial court first ruled on the defendant’s motion in the nature of a section 2 — 615 motion, it provided the plaintiff the opportunity to amend his complaint. The plaintiff made no amendment. I would affirm the trial court’s dismissal with prejudice because it clearly appears that the plaintiff cannot prove any set of facts which would entitle him to relief. Russell H. Lankton Construction Co. v. LaHood (1986), 143 Ill. App. 3d 806, 808.
