Explanation:

Based on the information that have been given in the question, the adjustments that can be made by both Lucy and Peter to their communication, so that misunderstandings like this will be avoided in the future will be for Lucy to tell Peter to listen to her, support her and show empathy regarding her situation.

Peter, on the other hand doesn't necessarily have to offer her an advice but at least he should show empathy towards her and show that he's concerned.
