Bailey had originally told herself that she came here to save Paul.
That was still true, but somewhere between seeing Noah again and finally saying everything she had kept buried since their time together, Bailey had been forced to admit that saving Paul was no longer enough.
Even if Noah suddenly agreed to leave him alone, Bailey didn't believe she could walk away and trust that his decision would last.
She knew how quickly the connections Noah once had with someone could stop mattering after they crossed whatever line he had set for them, and she wasn't willing to spend the rest of her life wondering whether Paul might eventually give him another reason to change his mind.
More importantly, even if Noah kept his word and never came near Paul again, Bailey couldn't forgive him for everything she believed he had already done.
