Just a friendly tip that it’s _piqued_ :)

  You never know, maybe it is the peak of their interest and it's all downhill from here

  Which, by the way, means "sharpened". Probably "peak" has the same root.

    pique comes from (Vulgar) Latin piccare, which means "prick with a sword". The route to English is via French. peak comes from Old English pīc, meaning just "peak" (e.g. of a mountain). The two are completely different words that just sound similar. pique may possibly go back to Proto-Germanic, and peak does, but the two go back to two separate words (*pīkaz, *pikkāre) though both are then related to sharp things and possibly onomatopoeic.
