I know it isn't.
Tell me what you want me to do to make up for it and I will.

[This isn't an offer Peter would ever normally make but the guilt he feels is terrible and just say he's sorry hasn't seemed to make it go away.]

_{[What should she get him to do for her to make it up to her? Just a simple dinner or buying her a dress won't really cut it.]}

how good are you at doing chores

[That is a very leading question but Peter had promised and he feels too awful, especially speaking with her now, to try and negotiate.]

I've never been hired as a housekeeper or anything like that. But I can do them.
Except cooking. I don't know how to cook.

alright then
you can clean and tidy my cottage then
for a month
you can also take me out to dinner tonight
and for ice cream

[A month. Peter's better sense wars against his intense guilt and loses.]

Alright. A month then.

Wouldn't you rather I pay for you to have a meal with someone of your choice? I can't imagine seeing my face would improve your appetite.

[And, truthfully....he doesn't want to have dinner with her. It seems like an unpleasant way to spend his evening.]
