Are peeved when you escort a girl to (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

take amiss

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'are peeved when' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'escort a girl to' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'escort' could be 'take' (both can mean to guide or accompany someone) and 'take' is found within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'girl' could be 'miss' (term of address for an unmarried woman) and 'miss' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'you' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for take amiss that I've seen is " Resent, be affronted".)
