When Did This Become "The Titanic"?

Much as she tried to be prepared, when the horse started moving she couldn't help but try to reach for something to grab onto. This only lasted a few seconds and a few minutes later she felt as though she was getting used to the rhythm of Jack's movements. She was very aware of Jasper sitting behind her, a hand resting gently on her hip, reins in the other. She looked around, trying to take in as much of the grounds as was possible. It was quiet and beautiful, the tall buildings of the city creating a strange backdrop. Suddenly, they sped up up. She wasn't expecting it and she let out a small squeal of surprise, leaning forward to place both hands firmly on the back of the horse. She could hear Jasper laughing behind her, and she chuckled slightly, sitting back again. The wind in her hair and the sun on her face was probably one of the greatest feelings ever. She turned her face skyward and held her arms out to her sides. Closing her eyes she felt as if she were flying.
