    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

     

    SHANE:  What are you thinking?

     

    SYDNEY:  If I tell you, will you promise not to use it against me? (Shane gestures to cross her heart) You’re like a different person when you’re around Bette, Alice and the rest of the group.

     

    SHANE: Like we said earlier, they’re my family.

     

    SYDNEY:  I know.  And I was wondering if maybe you’d like to go back to L.A. with them?

     

    SHANE: Why?

     

    SYDNEY: Well, I’ll be tied up much of the next few weeks•including a quick trip to India•and I’ll be joining you in L.A. for Christmas.  Then the entire gang will be at the Lake House for New Year’s.  I just thought maybe you’d like to get back to L.A. for awhile.

     

    SHANE: I could come to India with you.

     

    SYDNEY: I’d love to show you India•the floating palace and so many other things•but you need more than a few days notice and a passport…not to mention about a thousand dollars worth of shots.

     

    SHANE:  As in needles?

     

    Syd nods her head yes and Shane fakes a faint. 

     

    SYDNEY: It’s like L.A. flows through your blood•and your friends•your family of sisters•they are the air you breathe.  I don’t know how to compete with that.  And I don’t want to compete with it.

     

    Syd sits up to look at Shane.  Their faces are very close.

     

    SYDNEY: Shane, to love someone is to be responsible for them.  And I am responsible for your health and happiness•even if it means giving you up.

     

    SHANE: (very serious) Are you giving up on me?

     

    SYDNEY: No, silly.  I’m just giving you up for a few weeks. I’d never give up on you.

     

    SHANE: (not dissuaded) Giving up on us?

     

    SYDNEY: There’ll always be an us.  You’re very special to me.

     

    SHANE: (very serious) Then why are you traveling so much?

     

    SYDNEY: Activity looks like a reason to be busy and meaningful•although I fear recently my activity has been without accomplishment.

     

    SHANE:  Sometimes I think you’re busy looking for a reason to stay•or a reason not to. (hesitates) I love you Syd.

     

    SYDNEY: I believe you, and even more importantly I believe in you.  But I’m not certain if you are in love with me or you’re in love with the thought of us as a couple•a unit.

    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!
