The stigma against double texting is an insecure schoolgirl affectation. Don’t worry about it.
Personally I detest chain-texts (a whole bunch of short messages in quick succession, like 8-10 or so) because a) I get the impression the writer didn’t want to bother organizing his thoughts before communicating, and expects me to do it for him and b) it makes my phone vibrate/beep a lot and it’s just distracting. But that is not what’s going on here. It’s just two texts with complete sentences.
TLDR: you’re fine, texting etiquette-wise. Double texting is not really a thing.
I prefer chain texts when I am engaging in a conversation. It feels more like natural conversation. As a sentence is out of my brain, the recipient has it. Sometimes the thoughts are fully organized, there's just a linebreak between them, and it's just a formatting distinction. But there are differences between "sending a text message to relay information" and "having a conversation via SMS"
The obnoxious part is the constant vibrate/beep per incoming message, but Android has a "minimum time between notification sounds" config option though, I imagine Apple does too, so that has never really bothered me either.
