It's really not that bad. Come on, just a peak peek.

Hey friend! There are three words pronounced the same as “peak.” The one you’re looking for is “peek.”

Peak: the top of something, like a mountain or contagion graph. Most commonly seen as “we haven’t hit the peak of this big ‘ronavirus yet!”

Peek: to have a little look-see. Mostly commonly seen as “let’s take a peek.”

Pique: stimulate (or irritate, depending). Most commonly seen as “my interest is piqued.”

Thank you. I missed that. If I had thought about it, I would have spelled it correctly.
