Yesss, I so agree! (And did you mean Nightfall? That was the library scene.) I LOVED that scene. It was so crazy sweet, and I love how Grady's relationship with Keefe is evolving too. Honestly, I think Grady's hesitance to accept Keefe is an indicator that Keefoster is going to be end game. Another indicator is that, over the course of the series, Sophie is being more and more affected by Keefe on an emotional level, and the way she sees him- even physically- is changing (because her attraction to Keefe is something that was developed over time, whereas she thought Fitz was drop-dead gorgeous from the start). Just a few instances:

'A beautiful blond boy leaning over her' ~ Lodestar

Keefe's smile was somehow both breathtaking and heartbreaking ~ Lodestar

Keefe's expression was adorably smug ~ Nightfall

His smile became unbearably sweet ~ Nightfall

Now, each of these things aren't just baseless attraction, but they're an emotional attachment. She never thought of Keefe as 'beautful' at that point- I mean, sure, when she first saw him she realized he was good-looking- but she'd never gone nearly so far as to say he was beautiful. But after everything they went through, Keefe slowly grew to be beautiful in her eyes, just like she did for him, on both a physical and emotional level. And now, when describing Keefe's expressions- in this case, smiles- it also described Sophie emotional reaction to them, which are usually very strong, as you can see from the examples above. I think that this (plus a ton of other stuff I'm not getting into at this moment, lol) is a clear indicator that Sophie does love Keefe, contrary to popular Fitzphie-shipper belief (no offense to them, it's just what I've observed).
