    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

     

    PAUL: (to Nancy) Defend me big sis…(to Shane) why don’t you come with me to help.

     

    Paul leaves to order another round.  Shane gets up to follows and joins Paul at the bar

     

    PAUL (to the bartender) Another round for that table over there. (continuing to Shane) I just figured if Peter and Syd get to talk about me, you and I should get to talk about Syd -as a current lover and former one.  Syd talks about you all the time.

     

    SHANE: Funny, she has never said a word about you.

     

    PAUL: Never?  (melodramatically) I’m devastated!  But seriously, I don’t take it personally.  Syd is a very private person.  Speaking of which, my sister Nancy doesn’t know Syd is gay.  So you might want to give your friends a heads-up.

     

    Paul hands a tray filled with drinks to Shane and takes the other tray himself.

     

    SHANE: (to herself) That’s just fucking great!

     

    Paul and Shane deliver the drinks to the table and re-join the conversation.

     

    ALICE:  So let me understand this, Paul and Syd are divorced, but still go on vacations together?

     

    PAUL: Syd and I are a very happily divorced couple.

     

    ALICE: (to Syd) So what is your maiden name?

     

    SYDNEY: You’ll never be able to pronounce it.

     

    TASHA: Come-on, try us.

     

    Syd writes it down on a piece of paper and hands it to the group to view.  They all laugh.

    Nancy leaves the table. 

     

    TINA: (giggling) I’m sorry, but there are just way too many letters in that name.

     

    TASHA : (laughing) And someone forgot to add vowels!

     

    SYDNEY: You can see why I stayed with Livingston.

     

    Nancy returns to the table.  Paul notices his sister’s sly smile.

     

    PAUL: (to Nancy) Auh-oh—and what are you up to?

     

    NANCY:  I just had a conversation with the disk jockey and put in a few requests, something you two can dance to.

     

    SYDNEY: (resisting) Oh no, my dancing days are behind me.

     

    NANCY: (to the group) These two made just an amazing couple.  Come-on, just a couple dances for old time’s sake?

     

    The group spurs them on.

     

    ALICE: (to Syd) You know we’ll not let you rest until you do.

    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!
