    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

     

    TASHA: So I’m learning.

     

    SYDNEY: And that bothers you?

     

    TASHA: (reflectively) Sometimes.

     

    SYDNEY: Why?

     

    TASHA: Because I don’t know if I am getting to really know you•or just the image you want me to see.

     

    SYDNEY: You make me feel shallow and deceitful.

     

    TASHA: (shaking her head) I don’t know what to think Syd…..like about this revelation from the bar last night that you have this mysterious ex-husband who you still seem to date on a regular basis.

     

    SYDNEY: We are arm-ornaments for each other when a date of the opposite sex is appropriate.  Besides, we’re good friends.

     

    TASHA: And dance partners. By the way, Max is going to ask you to teach him to dance.

     

    SYDNEY: (kidding) Honey. I can make any man look good.

     

    Tasha laughs.

     

    SYDNEY: (continues) Tell him the dance studio is open anytime he’s ready…for you too for that matter.

     

    TASHA: I might take you up on that offer.

     

    Tasha becomes serious again.

     

    TASHA: I just think a little detail like an ex-husband is something that generally comes up in conversation at this point in our friendship. Hell, there’re times I think your postman probably knows more about you than I do.

     

    SYDNEY: And have you told me about your ex-lovers?  I just figured those topics were rude and poor form.

     

    TASHA: Touché, I get your point….Syd? (Tasha’s voice trails off as she gathers her thoughts before continuing) Can I ask you a question…I mean a really hard question?

     

    SYDNEY: Of course you can ask me anything.

     

    TASHA: But that doesn’t always mean you’ll answer.

     

    Tasha steps toward Syd and sits in the opposite chair, leaning forward to make direct eye-contact with Syd.

     

    TASHA: But this time I want you to promise to answer•no double talk.

     

    Syd hesitates, then nods affirmatively, raising her fingers in a Girl Scout gesture.

     

    SYDNEY:  Scout’s honor.

     

    Tasha hesitates for a fraction of a second, draws a deep breath and continues.

     

    TASHA: Are you going to tell Shane?

     

    SYDNEY: (puzzled) Tell Shane what?

     

    TASHA: That you and Helena slept together?

     

    Syd is shocked.  She hesitates for a moment and closes her eyes to gather her thoughts.

    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!
