I kneeled down on one knee and pulled out the ring. 'Marie, will you marry me? Will you be mine?'

Marie looked shocked. For a moment I thought she'll deny. Then she laughed and said yes. I was delighted.

I had met Marie a month ago. Yes, only one month and I'd fallen in love.

I told my little sister that I'd just got engaged. She jumped with joy. 'Show me her instagram account!'

I searched her name. Couldn't find it. WEIRD. I'd visited her profile a thousand times. Maybe she deleted it by mistake!?

The next day, I texted Marie. No reply for HOURS. Usually she texts back immediately. I felt scared. I decided to visit her. Since she lived alone, she owned a small flat in a building.

I rushed to the lift, up to the third floor. I was SHOCKED when I reached her flat. The name plate should have read 'Marie Jackson'

But instead it read 'George Matthews'

I knocked. A man opened the door.

HUH!?

'Do you know Marie Jackson?' I asked.

'Marie WHO? I don't know her.' The man replied.

'She owns this flat!' I protested.

'Are you mad? I own this flat from the past 2 years.' The man said nonchalantly.

I gulped. What the heck?

The next day, me and my mother went to the graveyard to visit my father's grave. I strolled around, reading various names.......

I gasped and stopped in front of one grave. Marie Jackson!?

How is this possible? No instagram account, no flat......

Was I in love with a ghost for a month!?
