Well, Lucy really means it too. But him being an asshole doesn't stop her loving caring about him. Apparently Lucy tends to go for the assholes. Peter's still a huge step up from the genocidal maniac, though.
And it does occur to her that yes, he really has never doubted it, then. This does actually give her some sympathy for him, and she softens a little.
Part of her just wants to go ahead and admit how she feels, how important Peter is to her, now that he'll know she means it. It's unlikely they'll get another chance like this. But most of her is still just scared.
"The last time I fell in love, it ruined my life," she says quietly after a little while. It's not a proper admission of how she feels about Peter now, but it should certainly be a big enough hint. But what she's really trying to communicate is how terrified she is of dealing with all of this. How terrified she is to trust, when her trust is apparently worth so little.
