    Author Notes:

    The “Holidays” continues the story of the refined and rebellious Dr. Sydney Livingston•passionate about her causes, love and life. In this segment, the serious Syd deals with the dual loss of her career and her mysterious long-time partner. It is a time of uncertainty as Syd pursues uncharted romance waters, and a time to discover a fresh identity in the world of her new L-Word friends

     

    SYDNEY: (under her breath) Jesus.

     

    SHANE: What’s wrong?

     

    Shane follows Syd’s glance toward the stranger and sees the women coming toward them.  Nancy Livingston is in her mid-fifties and dressed in jeans and a sweater. Nancy embraces an uncomfortable Syd warmly..

     

    NANCY: My God Syd•it is you!

     

    SYDNEY: Hello Nancy.

     

    NANCY: What the hell has brought you back to New Hampshire?

     

    SYDNEY: I’m here for Thanksgiving with some friends.

     

    Syd begins introductions.

     

    SYDNEY:  This is Shane, Tasha, Tina and Angelica.  Bette and Kit are entertaining on the mics and a few more of us are dancing.  Everyone, this is Nancy.

     

    NANCY: It’s nice to meet you all (turning her attention back to Syd) my God, you look great.  (kidding) are you in love?  (Nancy gives Syd another squeeze) Paul will be here shortly, he’ll just die when he sees you.  (Nancy sees two men entering the bar) In fact there he is now.  I’ll go get him.

     

    Syd is visibly uncomfortable and gulps down a full glass of Chardonnay.

     

    SHANE: So who are these people?

     

    SYDNEY: Nancy is my former sister-in-law and Paul is my ex-husband.

     

    SHANE: (surprised) You were married?

     

    SYDNEY:  For 5 years.  Livingston is my marriage name.

     

    Paul, Peter and Nancy join the table.  Paul embraces Syd warmly. 

     

    SYDNEY:  Paul and Peter, these are my friends.

     

    Everyone introduces themselves and Bette, Kit, Max and Alice join the table.

     

    BETTE: (whispering to Tina) Who are these people?

     

    TINA: (softly to Bette and the others who just re-joined the table) Paul is Syd’s ex-husband and Nancy is Paul’s sister.  I’m not sure who Peter is.

     

    ALICE: Her ex-husband?  Did we know she had an ex-husband?  Did Shane know?

     

    Tina shrugs and shakes her head "no."

     

    TINA: Apparently Livingston is her marriage name.

     

    ALICE:  This is gonna be good!

     

    Everyone is chatting comfortably.  Paul gets up to go to the bar.

     

    PAUL: (to the entire table) Another round for everyone?  On me?

     

    All agree.

     

    PAUL (to Syd and Peter) I hate to leave you two alone and out of earshot.

     

    PETER: Your current partner and former wife•how we just love to commiserate about you and your bizarre living habits!

    1. I saw this pop up early in the week but waited to read it over the weekend. I wasn’t disappointed. I love this character’s maturity and passion for what she believes in. I relate to her wisdom yet insecurity–I mean, who hasn’t messed a bed to pretend it was slept in? I’ve read all the Syd stories (even re-read portions of the original re: the wonderful relationship conversation with Tasha and the revealing fireplace sceen). “Holidays” shows Syd’s vulnerable side. She’s still grounded, but unfocused and searching. Nicely written–it was a pleasant New Year’s surprise–thanks!
