    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: Where do you see us going Syd?

     

    SYDNEY: I don’t know Shane. I care about you a great deal, and I believe you care about me.  But I don’t think you want to be responsible for me•nor do I want to saddle you with the responsibility of me.  There are some things I need to sort out…and I suspect there are things you need to sort out.  Let’s just see how it goes.

     

    SHANE: So what’s in our future?  Just being friends?  Maybe friends with occasional benefits?

     

    SYDNEY: Let’s just focus on the friends part and let everything else fall into place.

     

    SHANE: I know you’d like me to say I love you exclusively, but I can’t. 

     

    SYDNEY: At least you’re honest. 

     

    SHANE: But that doesn’t mean I’m not committed.  I just have trust issues.  In the end everyone leaves me.

     

    SYDNEY:  Trust is earned, Shane•and I’m not your father•I’ll never leave you.  I believe we are committed to each other•but maybe it wasn’t meant to be in a romantic way.  There are some people in the world who cross our paths•perhaps just for the briefest of moments•but they leave an indelible mark on us forever.   You are one of those people, and I am so grateful we tripped into each other’s lives.

     

    SHANE:  Is that statement supposed to mean something, or just hang there?

     

    SYDNEY:  It’s supposed to mean that I don’t want you to feel guilty when you "cheat" on me (smiles and nudges Shane playfully) – OK•so it really means that I will feel less guilty when you cheat on me. (Shane smiles sadly.)  It’s just a break for a few weeks•lighten up!  And for now (Syd rolls on top of Shane) let’s focus on that benefits part!

     

    They make love tenderly and passionately all night long.

     

    INT.  CHATEAU KITCHEN – THE NEXT MORNING

     

    Tina is in the kitchen sitting at the table sipping coffee and nursing a hang-over.  Shane enters and heads for the coffee.

     

    SHANE: Good morning.

     

    TINA: (holding her head n agony) The only thing good about this morning is that it will end at noon.

     

    SHANE:  Did you sleep well?

    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!
