Yes! I thought so, too! Sophie and her family is pretty much the only thing left in Keefe's life that he has left. (Thankfully, at the end of the Neverseen book, Sophie and her family is the only one who actually offered him a place to stay.) After Lodestar, Keefe no longer really has a best friend. Like in Flashback, Keefe kept saying nobody really cares about him and mentions that Fitz didn't even bother hailing him for updates anymore. I think their other friends care but not to the point that Sophie does where she actually used her one question with Fintan to ask about Keefe's memories.

But in retrospect, I also think that Sophie needs Keefe as well. Despite her supposedly "liking" Fitz, she doesn't open up to him as easily as Keefe. Around Keefe, Sophie can easily joke around or voice her concerns (like when she told him to stay in bed for a week to recover in Nightfall). Or when Sophie has trouble talking about her worries, like when Dex gave her the crush-cuffs, Keefe noticed it and instead of making fun of her, he comforted her. I love that they're both so patient with each other.

Also, yeah... What's up with Fitz pressuring Sophie into the whole match-making thing? Geeze.
