Invalidating the Fast of Shawwal After Starting

Question
If someone intends to fast a day in the month of Shawwal and then breaks their fast, should they make up that day and then fast another day in Shawwal?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: he is required to make up that day only whenever he wishes, without observing another day in Shawwal; because it is a voluntary act, and this is the ruling on voluntary acts, and God knows best.
