For Keefe, how I interpret it is that he just gets a better read from her when he gets enhanced. If I recall correctly, without enhancements, Empaths can only read the emotions from the mind (correct me if I'm wrong here). But since Lodestar, he was able to get a better reading of her emotions. Better doesn't necessarily mean a clear 100% understanding of her emotions. It just means that it's better than it was compared to before.

Emotions are very complicated. Maybe Keefe doesn't understand why she keeps denying her feelings for him even though it's definitely there. Lets look at it from his point of view. He sees her as this incredibly intelligent girl. She can figure out practically any puzzles, any hints, and understand any problems thrown her way. Yet, ironically, she's unable to understand her own emotions. Half of the time, she thinks she's not good enough to be liked despite being absolutely amazing and brave. Keefe only ever flirted with her, dropping pretty big hints about how he feels, ALMOST KISSED HER IN BOOK 4 (Dang it, Sophie!!!). Saying things like, "Isn't my eternal devotion enough?" (in Lodestar). And yet... she doesn't get it -- or at this point, refuse to admit it. (In Flashback, it seems like she's catching on to her emotions a bit better than before.) So, it's like... Why? Why don't you get it, Sophie? XD
