I've argued for Sophitz before but I'm just gonna leave this here. I ship them because it would just feel off to me for them not to get together. It was obviously set up for them to get together in the beginning, and honestly, I really think Shannon commits.

Let's take the show House for example. (Spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it or anything, though it's not really anything I'd imagine most users here watching.)

House and Cuddy were supposed to be together. From the beginning it was established. The ship had been hinted at, teased, and the two had gone through so much that it just had to happen. After all, why spend all this time leading up to this happy ending for them not to be together?

However, Cuddy leaves (long story short, House drives a car into her living room wall. :>) And never comes back, not even in the end. It really made the last season unenjoyable because he ends up marrying some foreign girl to let her into the country and... that's it. It was anticlimactic, and it felt very unsatisfying. Like I'd just spent the last 8 seasons waiting for the ship to happen and then splat, busted. Granted, Sophie and Fitz don't have anywhere near the same chemistry as House and Cuddy. But it's a similar situation.

Keefe is the foreign girl in this story. He's some random dude that barely knew Sophie in the first book, and it'd just be wrong for them to put them together when he wasn't there from beginning. Itd be like having Katniss end up with Gale- just wrong. You might call it cliché but to me it only makes sense for her to end up with Fitz. It was established from the beginning that Fitz be the love interest and also Dex. It'd be different if Keefe and Fitz were both established in the first book but until the second book he was not meant to be a love interest.
