[A similar long pause follows on Beckett's end. He could still lash out at her, but it just doesn't feel worth it. It won't get him anything. He's not even particularly angry anymore. He just feels like a fool. Don't get involved. Don't take sides. He's made so many mistakes...
If she's not going to antagonise him - or do all those things that are as good as antagonising him and are just worse because she doesn't mean them - then he isn't going to do it to her. That's simpler. That's just letting things be.]
I don't suppose Clayton told you anything useful about pain from head injuries? He got me once. The cane. It isn't serious, but it's hard to sleep with a headache.
