‘Fifty kinds of love? Seriously, why do you read these things?’
Matt threw the magazine onto the floor and dropped on the sofa.
Chloe crossed her legs and glared at him. ‘Because they entertain. They enlighten. They comfort.’
‘Comfort?’
‘Yes, comfort. They let you know that you’re not the only woman living with a Neanderthal.’
‘You needed a magazine for that?’
‘Matt, do you love me?’
‘What kind of question is that?’
‘A pointed one.’
‘Because I criticised your magazine?’
‘Because you don’t understand why I read them.’
‘This is ridiculous.’
‘What’s ridiculous is that you haven’t answered the question.’
A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words.

She's right - he hasn't answered it. That's a nicely done scene, Rob, and I can see it as part of some good character development.
