    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: But I see Paul every few months.

     

    NANCY: Yes, but not the rest of us.  Funny thing is that you divorced him but ended up leaving the rest of us.  And mother has never forgiven him.

     

    SYDNEY: Forgiven Paul for what?

     

    NANCY: Being gay.

     

    SYDNEY: It’s not like he has a choice in the matter.  Besides, Peter is very nice.  They’re good for each other.

     

    NANCY: (tipsy and slurring her words)  Mom misses you•and so do I.  Paul’s gay so you divorced the entire family.

     

    SYDNEY:  I should’ve keep in better touch with your mom.

     

    NANCY:  Maybe I should marry you and bring you back into the family?  It’s legal around here.  Or is that Massassechutes?

     

    SYDNEY: (laughs self-consciously) You’re drunk.

     

    NANCY: I know, and I wish you’d catch up a bit.  But why not get married?

     

    SYDNEY: Well for one thing we’d both have to be gay.

     

    NANCY: How do you know we’re both straight?  Maybe we should sleep together and give it a go?

     

    Syd takes Nancy’s arm and begins to guide her out of the rest-room.

     

    SYDNEY:  I can assure you you’d be very disappointed in me•as would your mother.

     

    NANCY:  I’ve never understood why so many people are more worried about my mother’s feelings than mine.  I think giving it a try is a good idea.

     

    SYDNEY:  Sometime good idea should just stay an idea.

     

    NANCY:  A romantic adventure in the later stages of life can be quite invigorating•you should try one.  And marriage is the deal of a lifetime•you should be looking to close that one.

     

    Syd and Nancy leave the restroom.  Tasha comes out of the stall after overhearing Syd and Nancy’s conversation.

     

    INT. HEW HAMPSHIRE LAKESIDE MOUNTAIN RESORT WORK-OUT ROOM – FRIDAY MORNING AFTER THANKSGIVING

     

    Helena is working out in the area alone.  Syd enters and walks up to Helena.  Helena quickly moves to another machine, avoiding eye-contact with Syd.

     

    HELENA: (over her shoulder) You missed Shane and Tina.  They left 5 minutes ago.

     

    SYDNEY: Actually I was looking for you.  We need to talk.

     

    HELENA: Or not. (Helena moves away from Syd to another machine.  Syd follows her.) I’m busy.

    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!
