Forum:I Could Make You Care problem

So when Veronica asked me to take her back to Hidden Valley, I told her to go alone. Instead of going, she went back to the 188 trading post. I had her join me again thinking that I could still do the quest but when I go to Hidden Valley, she let's me into the bunker but doesn't initiate a conversation with the Elder. The I Could Make You Care quest hasn't been initiated nor has it been failed but I can't seem to start the quest now. Is there a way I can still do it?
