From the episode 'How can you be sure?'
KEITH: Marry me.
KAREN: I don’t know what to say.
KEITH: Well, yes would be a good start.
KAREN: It just seems so out of the blue.
KEITH: After 15 years? Look, Karen, when you left for Italy we had a future. We’re still the same two people who stood at that airport. I was the man who was in love with you. And I still am.
KAREN: I love you too, Keith. You’re my best friend. You’ve been a wonderful father figure for Lucas. But the time away, the distance, it gave me a new perspective.
KEITH: On us?
KAREN: On everything. Tree Hill is such a small part of the world. And maybe it’s where I belong, but there’s so much more out there. Italy was the first time since Lucas was born that I’ve spent any time alone. I realized I only know myself as Lucas’ mother. I’ve got to find the rest of me. You mean the world to me, Keith. But I’m sorry. I can’t marry you.
