Broke My Heart For The Plot | Sherin Carol

Ever meet someone who just gets you? Like, out of nowhere, they show up, and suddenly everything clicks? That’s what happened when Ilaria met Shiloh.

She's a third culture kid who’s never quite fit anywhere, at least not until Creekhaven. And Shiloh? He’s the carefree, always-has-her-back kind of friend that people spend a lifetime searching for. Together, they’ve built something rare—a friendship that’s all deep conversations, fun adventures, and the sense of belonging Ilaria’s always wanted.

But as life moves them forward, Ilaria begins feeling the weight of things unsaid. Can she risk it all to find out if there’s something even deeper, or is friendship the real magic she’s been searching for all along?

A story for anyone who knows that home isn’t always a place—and that sometimes, the best connections are the ones that sneak up on you.
