I knew the "glass half empty" crew would have these dire predictions of the state of your engine.

You drove 2 miles and the temp didnt exceed 220.

I'm sure all the "experts" will chime in and tell my I am wrong with the advice I give you.

I would obviously install a new belt and start it up and see if the sounds are familiar....... an oil change would be mandatory, and while your at it a valve adjustment.

If the engine seems to sound and feel ( you can be the only judge of that) like it did before the belt breaking. Then drive the car (with your spare belt onboard) enjoy your car and learn the lesson about carrying spares.

If you drove 2 miles at redline without a fan belt you would have a major problem

2 Miles babying your car home wouldnt be something to lose sleep over.
