    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

     

    MARY: Brandy, Amaretto?

     

    BETTE: Amaretto for me

     

    SYDNEY: Please make that two.

     

    Mary speaks as she  pours the drinks.

     

    MARY:  Sydney, I’ve admired your work for sometime now, your initiatives in India, and of course your clinic in California.

     

    SYDNEY:  How an earth did you hear about them?

     

    Mary hands Bette and Syd their drinks and retrieves her own.

     

    MARY: Actually doctor, I wanted to meet you because I have been a fortunate recipient of your kindness.

     

    SYDNEY: Were you a patient?

     

    MARY: Of sorts.

     

    SYDNEY: Forgive my brain burp and senior moment, but I can’t place you.

     

    MARY: (amused) My dear, you are much too young for a senior moment.  Besides, I was never a patient you treated in person, although I owe you a huge dept of gratitude.

     

    Mary steps forward until she is just a foot away from Syd.  They face each other, Bette is standing a few feet to the side.

     

    MARY: You have always been a stanch advocate for organ transplant; I’ve read many of your essays.  And several months ago I was the recipient of a new heart.

     

    SYDNEY: A heart transplant?  That’s wonderful, you seem to be doing extremely well.

     

    MARY: Very well, indeed.

     

    Mary reaches forward for Syd’s hand and tenderly places Syd’s hand over her heart.  Syd is confused by the intimate but gentle gesture.  Bette takes a protective step forward.

     

    MARY: I received a good heart Syd•the heart of Susan Weaver beats in my breast.

     

    Syd’s face drains of all color and she sways slightly.  Syd tries to pull her hand away from Mary’s breast but Mary holds Syd’s hand tightly to her chest to steady her.  Bette reaches for Syd’s elbow.  Syd’s hand relaxes against Mary’s chest as if she is comforted by the familiar feel of Susan’s beating heart.

     

    MARY: Let me get you some water.

     

    Mary leaves to get water from the bar and Bette guides Syd to a chair. Mary returns with a glass of water and hands it to Syd.  Syd tries to lift the glass to her mouth, but her hand is shaking uncontrollably.  Bette steadies Syd’s hand and guides the glass of water to Syd’s mouth.

    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!
