Would she have gotten out of that truck if it weren't pouring out??

At the end, when they were stuck at the stop light, she has her hand on the car door ready to bolt to Robert's truck!
I think she would have left if it weren't pouring out!

Something tells me that if the light turned green just a few seconds later, she might have run out - Good thing she didn't because it would've been stupid to abandon everything over a 4 day fling.

No, I don't think that the weather conditions had anything to do with it.

Not sure. But one of my most memorable and touching scenes in my movie memories.

I don't think it would matter even if it wasn't raining. She just couldn't leave her husband abruptly.

Her hand on the door handle merely signifies that she had an intense desire to be with him. But she was never seriously going to leave the car. I think the candle-dinner scene established that detail. She wants to be with him (ie her hand on the door handle). But she knows she cannot (ie - stay in the car).
