" " Duncan came shopping with me today for my wedding dress . I picked a few favorites , and he ended up buying them all . After I tried on shoes until my feet hurt , he felt so bad and massaged my feet . " Kirsten felt numb as she stared at the pictures where Duncan gazed at Alayna affectionately . She didn't reply to any of them . After she got better and came home , she started packing . Except for some important documents , she threw everything else away .
