Off topic, but I think the movie wants us to think she's selfish because she tries to save herself rather than trying to save Imhotep. But personally I don't think that means she didn't love him. So she saved herself, or tried to. Given her tragic history, her instinct to protect herself makes total sense and to me says absolutely nothing about her feelings for Imhotep.

I mean, I think her leaving him to die does say a bit about his place in her priorities. To be fair. It doesn't mean she didn't love him, though, yes, it just means that she didn't love him enough to die for him. Which, given that she's been asked to give up her whole life for a man before, even if he was a Pharaoh, absolutely does make sense. It was just very poignant in the moment when you compare it to a) Evie lunging to save Rick, and b) everything Imhotep was willing to endure for her.

It's why I think it was always at least partly the freedom that Imhotep represented as much as Imhotep himself that mattered to her. She was willing to die in her first life to be free of Pharaoh ('my body is no longer his temple') and because she trusted Imhotep to someday be able to bring her back. In her second life, she already has that freedom, and if she dies with Imhotep there's no chance of either of them coming back. So. Different priorities in that circumstance.
