for Sonny before Justin returned to Salem. I think Justin would rather see that Sonny is truly happy, whether it be with Paul or with Will, and he so as much said so to Paul. He does not want Paul to give up on Sonny if Paul is who Sonny will want to be with, and he encouraged Paul to return to Salem to find this out, even if he may get hurt because Sonny might still choose Will. With Freddie Smith leaving, especially when he finds out Will is still attempting to ruin Paul, that Sonny may decide to leave Will. What happens afterward is anybody’s guess.
