Vincent Eastman and his wife, Sally, run an architectural firm together. He is the architect and creative director while Sally handles the firm's business end. Unhappy in his marriage to Sally, with whom he has a daughter, Vincent's relationship as more of a business than a family.
Vincent encounters a journalist, Olivia Marshak, and a romantic spark ignites between them. They attend an antique sale together and begin seeing each other whenever possible. After a quarrel with Sally at home, he moves out. Still, Vincent is torn between his marriage and the possibility of a future with Olivia.
At first deciding that the best course of action for everyone is for him to remain in his unhappy marriage, Vincent writes a letter to Olivia explaining that he is going back to his wife. Before he can mail it, Vincent stops at a convenience store in the country and sees a little girl who reminds him of Olivia. Realizing his true feelings for Olivia, Vincent calls her and leaves a message on her answering machine, telling Olivia that he loves her, wants to start a life with her, and that he's certain about his choice.
While speeding back to the city to be with Olivia, Vincent is in a car accident and dies. At the hospital, Sally receives Vincent's belongings, and finds the letter to Olivia. When Olivia shows up at the hospital, Sally doesn't tell Olivia about the letter; in turn, Olivia doesn't tell Sally about the message that Vincent left for her.
The women part ways, each believing that she was Vincent's true love.
