Shawn Monroe had no real intention of forcing himself on Paige Summers. Although he was interested in her, he wasn't that classless. He just wanted to scare her a little and use the chance to get closer.
Too bad Paige was completely in the dark.
Her predecessor in this body had been a throwaway character, collateral damage in the main couple's story. As such, Paige had absolutely no faith in his character.
So, after catching him off guard and subduing him, she took no chances. To prevent a counterattack, she efficiently trussed Shawn Monroe up like a dumpling, so tight he couldn't even wiggle a finger. Then, she bolted.
Though she was desperate to leave right away, she knew she couldn't make it out on her own.
Never mind finding the main gate; with her unfamiliar face, the chances of being stopped and questioned were just too high.
Thus, she went to find Nola first.
