Veronica barely had any time to react before she was flung back against one of the mirrors, which of course broke and a shard was lodged in her back and she had some in her hands too as she fell to the floor.
She winced in pain as she pulled one of the offending shards from her right hand. They hadn't wanted him to see this, but he'd forced her hand. As she removed each shard, the wounds closed like they were never there at all.
