"She thought he'd come to saver her. She was wrong."

Spoiler

The fact that I'm pretty sure this is just referencing that he was going to save her walking in the rain ruins it for me. I was waiting for a twist, for the husband to come and leave her, anything. There was nothing. I wouldn't have minded if I wasn't expecting a plot twist, but because of this tag line, I was. Honestly, it's like saying "she thought he'd save her from starvation" when all he did is buy her coffee. The modality is too high, and sets too high of an expectation. People are not going to assume that his offering to drive her in the rain is "saving" her.
