A Room of One’s Own
“Why would anyone build a round room out back?” Don looked at his wife, Yvonne, in the arched doorway. “I’m not spending the money to repair this place. You won’t find me stepping foot in here.” Yvonne watched Don return to the house. She had hated the thought of moving here, away from her family, but tradition dictated that the wife follow the husband.
She ran her hands over the stone mills, imagining the women before her, finding refuge as they ground their flour. Yvonne gave thanks to whoever built this place that soon would be hers and hers alone.

It's a long story ... 
Very nice! As a woman reared in a traditional home, I can relate!
His threat becomes her promise. Good for her that she found a room of her own, sad that she seems to be in a loveless marriage.
I envy her the room if not the husband!
Well, at least she’ll have a hobby. He, on the other hand, might have to think twice.
An evocative scene. I’m glad she’ll have a refuge – she obviously needs it. Well described, and I love the way you ended it, linking Yvonne to women of the past.
Her’s alone, I wonder what she is planning?
Good old Don just gave Yvonne permission to be herself. imagining the women before her – lovely idea.
