English short story plot - I want it to have a bit of a twist at the end, but I don't want it to be too complicated as it is a short story!
Here's what I've got so far:
Story starts with girl walking into cemetery, where she sits down and seemingly starts talking to a headstone. She has a long conversation, with someone (unknown) answering her. Through their conversation we learn about their relationship (possibly romantic). Then at the end we discover that she's been talking on the phone to someone.

So I was thinking of possible plot twist:
- The person she's talking to is actually the 'dead' person and for some reason they faked his death

Is that too complex for a short story? If you have any other ideas that'd be great, thanks!
