Think about how you want to make your paragraphs. The first rule is that every time a new person speaks, you need a new paragraph.
After that, it becomes a stylistic choice of where you want to create breaks.
It can be a great technique to separate things for emphasis - even if it's just one sentence.
For example:
Anna walked away from her house and didn't even look back once. She kept her eyes focused forward, even though they were swimming with tears. Every inch of body was aching to turn back, to change her mind, to just forgive him. Anna knew that it wasn't even a possibility. It was too late. She took off at a run, anything to increase the distance between her past and a mistake that could never be rectified.

**There is no right or wrong way to paragraph in the above examples. It's your personal choice, your preference. It's up to you, but here are some ideas of how you can play with the paragraphing.
