Let it be for now.
If it grows into a full flower and does not drop off by itself, then wait. If it sets fruit, break it off after the fruit is marble size.
The theory is, if you break it off early, it might put energy into trying to flower again. If you however let it progress and it falls off by itself, then all is well. If it sets fruit, waiting a little increases your chances that when it is broken off, the next flush will be vegetative since you would be past the period of cold or drought stress.
Hope that helps.
