This whole thing can be a lesson in something I find so, so important.
Always give the player an out.
Always.
If you like surprise RP? Cool. Go be surprising. Leave the player your surprising an out.
Like to plan it? Cool. Plan a few outs.
No matter what you do in RP, no matter the scenario, you always - ALWAYS - need to give everyone else around you an out so they can take it if they want to. Whether that means deciding on a few outs before hand or coming up with an out on the fly while discussing the scene OOC.
For anything. Fighting, Conflict, Romance, Drama, even a humorous scene.
"I want to do it this way and this is the only way it will be done" Is completely unacceptable. If you cannot compromise, you should not RP.
