The loving part of him is someone she is very comfortable with, but the scheming part of him, the Littlefinger part of him, is someone she is a bit weary of.christinemachine90
Canon books
Sansa and Petyr first meet when she comes to King's Landing with her father. After Joffrey's death Petyr arranges for Sansa to be smuggled out of the city. He shows Sansa his castle and then takes her to The Eyrie, where he is to wed her aunt Lysa. Her aunt is jealous of her. When she tries to threaten Sansa's life, Petyr kills Lysa by pushing her out the moon door. Sansa changes her name to Alayne and she pretends she is Petyr's bastard daughter now. Petyr arranges Sansa's marriage with a young lord.
