In 1971, while in high school, seventeen-year-old Mike Pearce dated Vicki Allen, a fifteen-year-old junior. Just before Christmas of that year, as she broke up with him she gave him a gift. Angry and heartbroken, he put the gift under the Christmas tree and vowed never to open it. 47 years later, he posts the story of the gift on social media and it goes viral. Even a year later, media stories are still appearing in places as far away as South America and Europe. Through an old high school friend, he reunites with his first love. This is their story.
