As for Vicki # 2 out of 3, I like the idea that one can be so much in love that loss of it could rip you apart like that. I think the whole supernatural element threw her too. How do you process your new husband disappearing supernaturally before your eyes, when for your whole life "magic" wasn't real, supposedly? If a book or a vase or something disappeared, that's not the same thing. I can't really put into words why not. Added together it's overwhelming, though. Losing a husband like that must be heart-wrenching yet at the same time, the biggest anticlimax of all time, one moment they're newlyweds, the next moment you're alone in the hotel room.
