Amelia's belief that Gurinder does not like or respect her shows a misunderstanding of his behavior and intentions. This misunderstanding has created tension in their relationship, as evidenced by Amelia thinking about the incident more and more often. This stage is characterized by a growing sense of unease and discomfort, which is primarily driven by Amelia's thoughts and feelings about the situation rather than by any objective facts.
