    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: The night before we met you to go to Habitate•when Shane was stuck in L.A. with the rest of us.

     

    SYDNEY: (with sad resignation) Helena told you?

     

    Tasha takes a deep breath but her eyes remain fixated on Syd.

     

    TASHA: Actually Syd, you just did.

     

    SYDNEY: What?

     

    TASHA:  The only time I’ve seen you upset is when you pretend not to have anything bothering you.  Tonight I could tell something was wrong•you were like a deer in headlights.  Then I pieced it all together, Helena had a secret alright, and you were so damned relived that Shane didn’t know about it.  So are you going to be honest and tell her?

     

    SYDNEY (snidely) Good detective work.  Dr. Watson would be proud of you.

     

    An angry Tasha pulls closer to Syd.

     

    TASHA: For God’s sake, Syd. You preach all this stuff about loyalty and monogamy then you sleep with Helena?

     

    SYDNEY: (sarcastically) Well, if it’s any consolation there really was very little sleep involved.

     

    TASHA: But Helena?

     

    SYDNEY: Tash, I hate to disappoint you but I’m human. Helena has been trying to seduce me since the minute I met her.  I succumbed.  It’ll never happen again.

     

    TASHA: Does Helena agree with that?

     

    SYDNEY: She and I have discussed it and agreed (Syd leans towards Tasha) that it would never happen again and that no one•I mean no one•would ever know about it.  Tash, I hope you will not betray me.

     

    TASHA: Betray you?  Shouldn’t you be more concerned with your betrayal of  Shane?

     

    SYDNEY: Telling Shane won’t erase what happened and there’s no reason to hurt her with the knowledge•what purpose does it serve?

     

    TASHA: (agitated) Are you protecting Shane or protecting yourself?  Jesus Syd, you fucked Helena?

     

    SYDNEY: Please Tash, be discreet.

     

    TASHA: Funny how you seem more concerned with my discretion that your own indiscretion.

     

    SYDNEY:  And you seem more concerned that it was with Helena than the infidelity itself.

     

    Tasha stands up quickly•very angry.  Syd has inadvertently hit a nerve.

     

    TASHA: Go to Hell Syd!

     

    Tasha turns and storms toward the doorway.  Syd rises quickly and runs after her.

    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!
