Thanks,
I was using indentation but switching to vertical space did not help.
I am attaching the same file with vertical space and the generated pdf

I don't think it's a function of parskip or any tweaking of space. As I
mentioned before, exiting and then entering double-spacing seems to be
the culprit.
