Exhibit B, her best friend and her boyfriend, the jerk broke her heart and now Shiloh has to fix her friend and encourage her to love although she barely believes in it herself. Instead of falling in love with the boy next door she'd rather shoot up aliens with the dashing former criminal and their team.
