    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

     

    Syd nods yes and pulls her robe closed as Bette pulls away.  A horn blows outside.

     

    BETTE:  There’s my cab.

     

    Bette pulls her gloves out of her coat pocket, puts them on, grabs her suitcase handle and opens the door.  Bette looks back at Syd, smiles softly before tuning away and walking outside. Syd closes the door behind Syd, watches her thorugh the peep hole for a minute, leaning her head against the door and supporting herself with the door knob.

     

    INT. SYD’S BUCKS COUNTY PA FARMHOUSE – TWO HOURS LATER

     

    Syd is still dressed in her robe and is sleeping on the couch.  Syd’s cell phone rings and awakens her.  A sleepy Syd manages to retrieve the phone.

     

    SYDNEY: (sleepily) Hello?

     

    INT. AIRPLANE AND INT. FARMHOUSE – A CONTINUOUS TELEPHONE CONVERSATION BETWEEN SYD AND BETTE

     

    Bette is seated in the plane and speaking to Syd on her cell phone.

     

    BETTE: Syd, its Bette.  I wanted to call and see if you’re OK after…(stammers uncomfortably)..after what happened.

     

    SYDNEY: Bette, I may be sexually inexperienced for a woman of my mature years, but I’m a big girl and not so fragile that I can’t handle a farewell finger fuck.

     

    BETTE: (distressed) Don’t put it that way.

     

    SYDNEY: (annoyed) Then what was it Bette•some sort of right of passage into your circle•no one is really "in" until she’s consummated the relationship with Bette?

     

    BETTE: You know that’s not it.

     

    SYDNEY: (agitated) I appreciate the call but don’t worry, I’ll be able to look you in the eye next time I see you and deal with Tina without divulging our dirty little secret.

     

    BETTE: But it wasn’t dirty•it was beautiful.  I felt close to you…it just seemed right to express it that way.

     

    SYDNEY (softening) You and I don’t have the right to express ourselves that way.

     

    BETTE: I know. (hesitates) I’d like to say I’m sorry it happened but the truth is I don’t regret it.

     

    SYDNEY: I don’t regret it either•but nor do I want to repeat it.

     

    BETTE: Understood.  It will just be one shared beautiful moment.

     

    SYDNEY:  Beautiful perhaps, but betrayal none-the-less.

     

    BETTE:  I don’t understand.

    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!
