"I'm not asking her to marry me!" snaps Peter. Oh, good, that came out like he meant it to.
Wait, that came out like he meant it to. Peter pauses, trying to figure out what's different about the last thing he said, and why it didn't change when he went to say it. He's not asking her to marry him What about that is different from Lucy is a friend with benefits?
One is true, he realizes, and one is not. He's not proposing to Lucy, but she...fuck, she's not a friend with benefits. That's kind of a surprise to him.
Experimentally, he tries to lie about something less private. And I wouldn't want a bachelor party, is both untrue and probably not dangerous, and he's almost expecting it when it comes out as "I wouldn't mind the party, though."
