For an instant, she sensed Beckett behind her, his voice in the stairwell, then on the street. She
moved faster, slid into the car, then gunned it, seeing his face as a white blotch, his hands rising and
then down. She drove fast and let the car do the talking. Rubber at the corners. Engine on the flats.
Her skin still burned, but it was more like shame and rage and self-loathing.
DNA on the wire.
Her hand hit the wheel.
She wanted to move and keep moving. Barring that, she wanted to get drunk. She wanted to be
alone in the dark, to sit in a chair and feel the weight of a glass in her hand. The memory would still
be there, but the colors would dim; the Monroe brothers would fade; the carousel would stop.
Beckett, however, had other ideas. His car hit the driveway twenty seconds behind her own.
“What are you doing here, Charlie?”
“I heard what they said.” Beckett stopped at the bottom step. “Through the door, I heard it.”
“Yeah. So?”
“So, I don’t know what to do.” He looked as ruined as Dyer as he tried and failed to keep his eyes
off the place her hands joined her arms. “Liz, Jesus…”
What does " The memory would still be there, but the colors would dim mean?
What does " Beckett stopped at the bottom step" mean?
What does "keep his eyes off the place her hands joined her arms" mean?

"...but the colors would dim" means the memory would not be so clear, being dulled from the alcohol.
"Beckett stopped at the bottom step" means that Beckett had been following her but (when they reached a stair) he stopped at the bottom step and didn't follow her up the stairs.
"he tried and failed to keep his eyes off the place her hands joined her arms" means he was unable to keep looking at the place her hands joined her arms (presumably, her wrists, though I'd need more context to be sure).
