I figured it out! Run about near the circumference of where the quest trail leads, and try to get Veronica to start speaking, I believe she says something along the lines of "What now... Oh, you're not my husband! I don't know how I could have made that mistake." After that point, she was no longer floating, and I could interact with her. Basically, keep running in and out and around the quest area circle indicated by the glowing trail, and she eventually starts to talk and then you can continue.
