Same. If she dies, I'll cry 5evr, and then most likely kill GRRM or something equally crazy.
Yeah, I have to say, it seemed ridiculously obvious to me from the start that there could potentially be something more between the two of them. Like I said, they have their own freaking song (No Featherbed for Me- and I have to say, I've never heard it used for any other pairing besides these two, so I'm really curious!)
And the other two pairings that, in my opinion, have the most canonical backing are Jaime/Brienne and Sansa/Sandor. Jaime/Brienne just... well, obviously they've got ~feelings for each other. Theirs is pretty much the most blatantly romantic relationship that GRRM has written in the series so far. So, yeah, there's tons of things between them ("I dreamed of you," Jaime bitchslapping Connington for Brienne's sake, etc.).
As for Sansa/Sandor... Well, so far there seems to be three main/likely "suitors" for Sansa and those are Sandor, Tyrion, and Petyr. Sure, she marries Tyrion, but there's never anything more there- and given the mere fact that he's a Lannister, it's almost impossible for her to ever trust him. Petyr is a bit trickier (as he always is). He rescues her from KL, they kiss a couple times, etc. But she really doesn't seem to feel much for him, romantically speaking. In fact, she was kind of freaked out the first time he kissed her. I think the main point of GRRM throwing her and Petyr into their situation is so that Sansa can learn how to really play the game- because, let's face it, Littlefinger's one of the best there is when it comes to that.
As for Sansa's feelings toward Sandor, there's a clear evolution there. She starts out being terrified of him- and rightly so. But by the third book, she's having sexual dreams about him ("I'll have a song from you"), and "wishing the Hound were here." She keeps his dirty white cloak with her summer silks, though she refuses a pomegranate from Petyr because it's "too messy." (Got that point from a genius on Tumblr, though I forget their URL). To me, it just seems like her romantic feelings are directed more toward Sandor than anyone else, though all the same, I would be shocked if they actually ended up together.
AND I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO WRITE AN ESSAY I JUST HAVE FEELS
