“Team Foster-Keefe will always be cooler.”
― Shannon Messenger, Neverseen

“Keefe, I...'

There were no words.

She threw her arms around his shoulders, hugging him as tight as she could. Maybe if she never let go, she could hold the broken pieces together.”
― Shannon Messenger, Lodestar

“Keefe’s smile looked determined as he stepped back and took Sophie’s hand. “I’m always with you, Foster. What ever you want, I’m in.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Keefe closed the distance between them.
And then... everything was new.
The soft press of his lips against hers.
The way their breath seemed to fall perfectly into sync as her heart and brain screamed FINALLY!
Some tiny part of her had always wondered if kissing could really be as great as everyone claimed.
But kissing Keefe was So. Much. Better.
He was the one to finally pull away, leaning back to study her in the shimmering light. "You're okay, right? No regrets?"
She grinned. "Absolutely none."
His relieved smile was the sweetest thing she'd ever seen- but it faded a little as he leaned his forehead against hers. "I don't want to mess this up," he whispered. "Please don't let me mess this up."
"I won't," she promised, tilting her chin up to steal another quick kiss.”

“I’m always serious, Foster. Especially when you think I’m teasing.”\”

“Keefe?' Amy repeated, her lips curling into a grin. 'He's the supercute blonde guy you picked up cookies for, right? The one who keeps staring at you all intense when I met him, like you were the only person that mattered to him in the entire universe?'
Someone coughed near the doorway.
It was probably Grady, maybe Edaline too, but Sophie decided she would rather not know who was eavesdropping.
'He doesn't stare at me like that,' she said, hoping her cheeks weren't blushing too badly.
It didn't help that Ro kept cackling beside her.
...
'I swear, you have no idea how lucky you are, getting to be around so many gorgeous boys all the time. I don't know how you haven't dated any of them--or have you?'
'She tried with Fitzy,' Ro answered for her. 'But then she realized he was too boring, so they broke up.'
'That's not what happened!' Sophie argued--over lots more coughing from the doorway. 'We didn't really date. We just sort of... liked each other... openly. But then it got super complicated, so we decided to focus on being friends.
...
Why are we talking about this?' Sophie asked
...
'Because it's fun watching you get all red and fidgety!' Amy told her.
'Plus, there's a chance our boy is somewhere nearby, listening to this conversation,' Ro added before she raised her voice to a shout. 'Hear that, Hunkyhair? Get your overdramatic butt back here! Your girl is single--and the great Foster Oblivion is over! This is what you've been waiting for!'
'Hunkyhair?' Amy asked, raising one eyebrow as Sophie contemplated smothering herself with her blankets. 'Great Foster Oblivion?'
'Never mind,' Sophie mumbled, sinking deeper into her blankets.”

“Won't you need my help with the cache?' Fitz asked her.
It felt very good to tell him, 'I don't see why.'
Ro snickered.”

“...I never knew I needed a lot of things before I met you. (Keefe Sencen to Sophie Foster)”

“The fact that they're shaped like tiny elves!" Keefe said, clapping his hands before he pointed to the label. "Hang on-THEY CALL THEM 'ELF WITCHES'?"
"They do, Keefe. They do. And that's not even the best part."
"AHHHHHH LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE FACES!" Keefe shouted as he peeled back the plastic cover. "THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN---EVER!"
"Greater than when you discovered Fitz slept with Mr. Snuggles?" Sophie had to ask.
"Um. YEAH. They have names, Foster. NAMES!" He held up one of the cookies and pointed to the name tag the little elf was holding. "This one's Ernie! AHHHH AND THIS ONE IS FAST EDDIE!" he said, snatching a different cookie. "And this one is Bickets! And Elwood! I don't know who named these guys, but whoever they are, they're a genius, I tell you--a GENIUS.

“But you're forgetting something, I like a challenge." Keefe was so close, his breath warming her cheeks.”
― Shannon Messenger, Nightfall

“From that point on, he only had one goal: to be whatever Sophie needed.

Not the hero.

Not the one taking charge of everything.

Just a guy ready to listen and help and be there for her.

A friend.

Until she was ready for more.”
― Keefe Sencen (Shannon Messenger)

“But you're forgetting something, I like a challenge.
Keefe Sencen”
― Shannon Messenger, Nightfall

“You Do Matter Keefe...”
― Sophie Foster

“Ohhh, a lovers�� quarrel!�� Ro clapped her hands. “Those are my favorite. Anyone have snacks? I feel like we should have snacks for this.��
“That’s not what this is,�� Sophie told her. “We’re not...never mind.��
Ro grinned, flashing pointed teeth. “If you say so.��
“Fosters not ready to face her feelings,�� Keefe stage-whispered.
“I’m ready to strangle you,�� Sophie countered.”

“You're grounded because you nearly gave me a panic meltdown,'' Grady told her,'' And it's not about approval. This is your life. You'll get to choose who you share it with. Anyone who wants to be special to you should have to prove that they deserve you. Not just Keefe though he'll definately have more of an uphill battle. I'd be saying the same thing if we were talking about someone else. Like... oh... I don't know. Dex? Fitz?
Sophie buried her face in her hands. '' Someone please kill me now.”
