Not to be mean, i can see why you see it that way, but in MY opinion, its the opposite. I think Keefe needs someone to tie him down, but it can't be someone he dislikes, only someone he cares enough for that he wants to stay with. Like his parents try to force him to be tied down, and that didnt work, but if he found someone he loved enough, he would be for them. I think that as Sophie and Keefe's relationship is growing, Sophie is becoming that person more and more. In Neverseen, Keefe was more reckless. And Keefe will always be reckless. But in Nightfall, you see that he is extremely loyal to Sophie, and his intentions are always to protect her. He may "steam-roll" her sometimes, but its not because he's trying to, its because he wants to protect her because he loves her (whether romantically or friendship wise). Also, in Nightfall there is a conversation in which Keefe lets Sophie know that he does not like Biana and wishes she didn't like him. He also lets her know that he is in no hurry to apply for the match. He is the only boy who is not impressed by Linh. This does not match the whole "three girlfriends" thing. I think Keefe is too loyal to Sophie to be like that. Also, in the B&N Nightfall edition short story, the book ends with Keefe thinking about how he will be a friend to Sophie and there for her, "until she is ready for more". I think his patience and willingness to be there for her whether she likes him or not (She likes Fitz now) is more proof of his loyalty to her.
