[ Apparently Peter is just going to be in a near permanent state of confusion, because he frowns at her. ]

[ ... Except Gamora already kinda said, right? "It's for this useless festival." Which is all about love and romance, and all the vendors are trying to sell these potions and shit to help folks find their true loves or whatever.
"I should have consulted you," she said, while some weird red string hangs between them.
Peter slowly lifts his head as that revelation dawns on him, and he feels himself starting to smile.
But he's just as quick to temper that giddy spike of excitement, because, well, she got this from some dude off the street, if he's understanding her right. So how effective could it really be? It could just be some weird fluke, right? Could be that the magical effect just latched onto the person she knew best, or the person she's known the longest, or the person she was thinking of at the time she tied the string around her finger.
—although that last one is also a pretty good sign, really. Because if Gamora picked up a magic vial that was meant to point her to her soulmate or whatever, and she was thinking of him? That's gotta be good, right?
He clears his throat. ]
It's, uh. Fine. [ Yep. Totally playing it cool, here. Just ignore the nervous sort of strain in his voice. ] I mean, you know. No harm done.
