This is one of O.Henry's stories that I like dearly.
It also has a twist ending.
I like it because, just like the protagonist, I too get very busy and swamped with the affairs of work that I tend to forget the most obvious, and important, things. Although, the thing our protagonist forgets in this story is a bit too dramatised to be real, but that's what helps stretch a point and makes a classic piece of literature -- a bit of exaggeration.
I am sure you too have had this experience when you're "in the zone."
The other thing is: when you're mentally saddled with too many chores, the longing for human affection lingers on at the back, and perhaps grows intense and urges to find vent every now and then.
