Living Strong & Living Well – Part 3 – The Holidays
SHANE: How long are you going to be mad?
SYDNEY: I’m not mad. The key to a strong relationship is never to go to bed angry.
Syd rolls on her back to face Shane and they kiss.
SHANE: Hell of a day for you, between our botched intervention and the news about Bette and Kit. (Shane then places several kisses on Syd’s neck, shoulders and breast.) I should’ve come up sooner and not left you alone.
SYDNEY: I’m OK•it was nice to hear your laugh drift upstairs.
Shane turns serious.
SHANE: Look, Syd, I’m really sorry about that whole cockamamie story about Susan and those girls from The Planet…..
Syd places her fingers to Shane’s lips to silence her.
SYDNEY: The second secret to a strong relationship is to argue only in the present and not bring up the past. All of that is ancient history now. Sometimes people do the wrong thing but for the right reasons. I know your intentions were good, although I think the women from The Planet had more malicious motives.
Syd removes her fingers from Shane’s mouth and replaces them with her lips. They kiss softly.
SHANE: It’s over now, never to be spoken of again.
SYDNEY: How are Bette and Kit?
SHANE: They both went to bed early•to talk, I suspect.
SYDNEY: I feel like such a grim reaper.
SHANE: It’s not your fault. You were just the messenger•and they wanted the truth.
SYDNEY: It’s just the way the entire conversation was going about blood not defining family•I thought they knew.
Shane begins kissing Syd all over.
SHANE: Shush, let me take your mind off of it.
Syd and Shane make love.
INT. CHATEAU BEDROOM – SOMETIME LATER
Shane and Syd are together in bed, the sheet draping over their naked bodies. Syd’s head is cradled against Shane’s breast.
SHANE: This is when I miss smoking. You know I gave it up for you?
SYDNEY: Pardon me?
SHANE: There’s nothing like a cigarette after great sex.
SYDNEY: You watch too many movies.
They both laugh and nuzzle each other playfully. Syd becomes more serious.

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!
