You taught me how to love

Maxine had lived a hard, tough life for someone so young, her parents had died at the age of 16. She had to learn how to fend for herself.
Love had never been an option for her when it came to relationships, one night stand after one night stand.
That was until she met Maria, this woman walked into her life with her kind heart and her gorgeous brown eyes.
It confused Max when she felt the need to spend time with Maria and get to know her better, what did this mean?
Was she the end of her meaningless flings?
