    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:  I’m sorry to shock you.  After the operation I seemed possessed to learn all I could about my heart’s•shall we say•original owner.  I read all of the newspaper clippings surrounding Susan’s death, your two year court fight to have her removed from life support, the unfortunate press regarding… (Mary doesn’t complete the sentence but kneels in front of Syd).  I’m sorry if I was selfish in making the decision to tell you.  I just felt a yearning, a need to seek you out.  To learn as much as I can about Susan.  You must have loved each other very much.

     

    SYDNEY: (struggling but managing to keep her composure) I’m glad you did, Susan would be pleased….and so am I.

     

    MARY: I was appalled at the violence inflicted on Susan, I thought it might give a sense of comfort•perhaps revenge•for you to know a part of her still lives, and loves.

     

    SYDNEY: Her revenge is for you to live a full and meaningful life.  Cicero said the life of the dead is placed in the mind of the living.

     

    Mary nods.

     

    MARY: And in this case also the breast. My husband knows nothing about my research, and what I know about you and Susan. (Mary tries to be politically correct) and the various allegations that make me believe your escorts are here for Ted’s and my benefit, not yours.

     

    The drawing room door opens and Ted, Peter and Paul enter.  Peter’s eye is drawn to the magnificent painting the women admired earlier.

     

    PETER: (in awe) How spectacular!

     

    Paul notices that Syd is pale and struggling.

     

    PAUL: The entire evening has been spectacular but I am afraid we must go.

     

    PETER: (resisting now that he has seen the painting) But….

     

    PAUL: (protectively) Bette has an early flight and I think we’ve imposed on our hosts long enough.

     

    They all begin to move to the exit.

     

    TED: Believe me, it has been no imposition, I hope you will come again soon.

     

    Mary gently squeezes Syd’s forearm and makes eye-contact.

     

    MARY: Yes, I hope to see you again very soon.

     

    PAUL:  (whispering to Bette) What the hell happened in there?  Syd looks terrible.

    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!
