So by the time Regina shed that tear, she was probably with Robin longer than she'd ever been with Daniel. Regina and Robin didn't fall in love over that year. They showed no such thing.

Regina knew Daniel likely as long as he was a stable boy there. Lana confirmed it during an interview. The reason they were so at odds during "A Curious Thing" was because they had pent-up sexual frustration and love that they didn't want to confirm for each other. Means nothing if we don't see more on show. The writers could have changed it at anytime.
