Ariel can no longer sing after a mean prank by her cousin, Ursula.

Even worse, the one guy she'd had a crush on is returning to Grimmly Woods for a special duet with Ursula. There's a rumor that Eric has written a special song for a special girl, but since Ariel's lost her ability to sing, she doesn't stand a chance.

She hopes Eric leaves town as quickly as possible and never remembers the girl who once had an amazing voice. Because she doesn't want to relive the humiliating day she lost it.


This is a full story from the Grimmly Woods short reads collection -- modern day romances loosely inspired by classic fairy tales.
