Answer:

The story seemed to have a potential romance between Charlie and Miss Kinnian at the point when Miss Kinnian and Charlie went on a date.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Flowers for Algernon" is a short story and a novel written by Daniel Keyes. The story is about a 37 year old man named Charlie with low IQ. An experiment is performed on him by Dr Strauss and Dr Nemur.

Miss Kinnian was a teacher of Charlie who used to help him in literacy classes. Charlie was Miss Kinnian's best student as he was eager to learn and mature. As the time went by, after Charlie's experiment, he grew intellectually.

During this time, a connection of romance begin to develop between Charlie and Kinnian, and Charlie even asked her out for a date to which she agreed. It is during this point, that the readers perceived that Charlie and Miss Kinnian would develop a romantic relationship and their story will end happily. But Miss Kinnian regretted this decision because Charlie still needed time to grow and mature.

Miss Kinnian has always been there to support Charlie and to care for him, but when his intellectual begin to diminish, Charlie separated himself from her.
