Maybe it's just me-but Sarah's expression in the last panel is somewhat less than reassuring.
I can see why Peter told this particular story to her though: It's one where both Were's and Humans get along amicably. She is probably still ticked off at the realisation that there comes a point in life when you "can't go back home", and she's reached it.
Adulthood bites; no way around that.
I wonder if this is a hint at what might exist in college: a sort of underground association of Were's and Humans; both semi-rebellious to the old-line concept of Werewolves and Smoothskin humans are like oil and water-not mixable...or not too mixable, that is. After all, the Genericville Pack has a few Smoothskin human associates (the thrift-shop lady coming to mind most easily).
Still, there is fear and resistance on both sides of the equation, with the Were's probably being the most fearful. The Human race could "inhale" them and not even sneeze-nevermind that these Werewolves are humans with one special ability. Period. They fear for their uniqueness in the face of a parent species that could dilute them into insignifigance in three generations, tops. So they hide.
(Sigh) that option won't last forever. Eventually they'll be found out; and once the 'shiny' wears off-ignored.
Maybe that's what they fear most.
(five solid days of miserable rain has me being thoughtful-moreso than I should be, maybe.)
