PETER (V.O.): Have I seen a heart-shaped sunshine spot?
Focusing.
PETER (V.O.): No, just two-three isolated light spots.
After hearing some sound of the wind and leaves, we see a heart-shaped sunshine spot reappearing on the metal plate.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, yes!
When Peter has his smart phone in hand, the heart-shaped sunshine spot disappears again.
PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd): Ah, I've to stay where I'm for the next breeze.
Waiting, Peter looks up to see the scattered light that filters through the trees.
PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd): I believe the window of opportunity is very small.
Directing his smart phone camera on the metal plate, Peter waits resolutely.
PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd): Will the heart-shaped light spot reappears for my sake?
Then, after seeing initially two-three light spots, we see them uniting to form the heart-shaped light spot.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Great!
Swiftly, Peter captures the moment.
